Today’s 54 Commonwealth countries account for over 17% of world GDP in Purchasing Power Parity and contain 2.4 billion of the world’s 7½ billion people.
Even without any formal arrangements, trading between Commonwealth countries is 19% cheaper than with non-members. Massive cost cuts come from shared history, cultural links, common legal systems, business practices, and a common language between many Commonwealth countries. This is also known as ‘the Commonwealth advantage’.
We want to support your business in exploring new and exciting markets across the Commonwealth.
Throughout the week you can also join a series of market awareness webinars including live and pre-recorded input from export experts in the following markets: Africa, South Asia, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, Canada and Pakistan.
