Britainâs trade deficit unexpectedly shrank in May to the narrowest in more than one and a half years as buoyant economic growth in Europe and Asia raised exports. The goods trade deficit was Â£6.3 billion ($12.7 billion), the least since October 2005, down from a revised Â£6.9 billion a month earlier, the Office for National Statistics said. The report suggests British manufacturers are coping with the level of the pound, which reached the highest in a quarter-century last week on speculation of higher interest rates. British factories are benefiting from an economic pickup in the euro region, which buys half of their exports. Exports to non-European Union countries rose in May, by 2.3 percent, and imports fell by 1.9 percent, narrowing the gap in the goods trade to Â£3.5 billion. Exports to European Union nations rose 4.2 percent.
