Leading consultants have suggested that Britain's over-reliance on European and North American markets will mean gradual decline between now and 2050, unless its business community can break into the fast-growing markets of Asia and Latin America.
David Cameron and Gordon Brown have each led high-profile trade missions to Asia in recent years, in an attempt to emulate the success Germany has had in breaking into the markets of the leading emerging economies.

The latest forecasts from the International Monetary Fund suggest that China will grow by 10.5% this year, India by 9.7%, Brazil by 7.5% and Russia by 4.0%,  yet the four economies combined account for 7% of UK exports (the same as for crisis-ridden Ireland).
