Trade Agreements: Jamaica
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to help increase the (a) volume and (b) value of trade between the United Kingdom and Jamaica.
- Answer
-
The Government is taking steps to increase both the volume and value of UK–Jamaica trade through strengthened engagement and targeted programmes.
Recently, we supported the third UK-Caribbean Trade and Investment forum, where governments and businesses across the region and the UK met to promote commercial partnerships and identify investment opportunities. During his visit to London for this forum, I met my Jamaican counterpart to discuss opportunities to work together on economic growth and resilience.
HMG is also supporting UK exports to Jamaica, including through UK Export Finance which can help finance major projects by reducing risk.
