At ei gilydd mae Llywodraeth Cymru o’r farn bod gan fasnach rydd rôl hanfodol i’w chwarae wrth gefnogi economi Cymru a’n hadferiad economaidd yn dilyn y pandemig COVID-19. Yn ôl y data roedd allforion yn cyfrannu 23% at GDP Cymru cyn y pandemig.
Overall, the Welsh Government believes free trade has a vital role to play in supporting Wales’ economy and our economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Before the pandemic, the latest data, from 2018, shows goods exports contributed 23% to Welsh GDP.  The Welsh Government has consistently argued that new Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) should not be seen as a substitute to an FTA with the EU, but should instead be a complement to it. Even in a best case scenario, FTAs with Japan, Australia and New Zealand would only provide a fraction of the economic growth we will lose if we fail to strike a comprehensive FTA with the EU.
