A NEW Welsh Government Covid and Brexit support package will provide the most ambitious and comprehensive programme of export support put in place in Wales . Welsh goods and services have long been exported worldwide, helping Wales become a strong and successful trading nation. Between 2015 and 2019, the value of Welsh goods exports grew at a faster rate than the UK as a whole and, in 2019, reached £17.8bn. However, the prolonged negotiations of the future relationship between the UK and EU has stifled businesses’ ability to fully plan and prepare. Economy Minister Ken Skates has said this has placed incredible pressures on firms who are already dealing with the economic impacts of coronavirus.
