BritishAmerican Business Launches Analysis of the US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal

7 August 2025

The BritishAmerican Business has published its analysis of the US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal.

This paper, produced in consultation with leading trade associations, BAB member companies, and trade experts, identifies the key elements of the EPD and reviews progress since it was agreed. It also outlines BAB’s recommendations on what should be prioritized as governments seek to bring the agreement to life, focusing on addressing tariffs, reducing non-tariff barriers, digital trade, economic security, and other trade policy issues.

Commenting on the release of the paper, Duncan Edwards, CEO of BAB, said:

“The UK government should be commended for the speed with which they negotiated this agreement. The EPD shows the US is fully committed to its new trade approach, even with its closest allies, but it was significant that the UK was the first to get a deal. There is a lot in the agreement still to be negotiated and only time will tell the extent to which the UK has got better terms than its competitors.”
