此外，自1990年代中期以来的结构性改革完成了英国出口商与全球供应链的深度融合，令英国的许多出口产品的生产需要进口各类原料零件；因此英镑贬值和进口价格上涨时也会对出口价格产生连锁效应，使其竞争力降低。
In addition, structural reforms since the mid-1990s have ensured that British exporters are deeply integrated within global supply chains. As a result, many of Britain’s exports require imported inputs; so when sterling depreciates and import prices rise, the knock-on effect on export prices renders them less competitive.
