About 40 per cent of thepopulati on s food and a l

19、arge proport ion of the raw materials used byin dustry have to be imported. In 1980 exports of goods and services wereequal to about 25 per cent of the Gross Nati onal Product.In the exports of manu factures, the UK, in recent years, has done lesswell than her major competitors.
