Starmer Seeks to Expand Service Exports in UK Trade Strategy
The UK is seeking to increase the recognition of British professional certifications abroad, a move aimed at boosting the nation's service-sector exports by making it easier for highly skilled employees to work for clients overseas.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government said on Wednesday that it wants to use trade deals to expand the acceptance of such professional accreditations outside the UK. That could open up new markets for UK firms engaged in law, accounting, and other highly regulated occupations by removing a major hurdle for their workers.
