Cross border trade up in Ireland, Britain resolving trade problems
DUBLIN, Ireland: Irish officials have released figures showing cross-border trade continued to grow in March.
The value of exports from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland rose by 62 percent from 176 million euros to 285 million euros, according to Ireland s Central Statistics Office (CSO).
For the first quarter of 2021, exports to the Republic were up 44 percent from 519 million euros to 748 million euros.
Since the Northern Ireland Protocol began in January, it has become increasingly difficult for businesses in either part of Ireland to import goods from Great Britain.
Northern Ireland is a member of the EU s single market for goods, so products arriving from Great Britain are subject to new checks and controls.
