The British Ambassador to Guatemala, Juliana Correa, met with Guatemalan Minister of Economy Gabriela Garcia-Quinn on March 5, 2025, to discuss economic growth and trade opportunities.

This collaboration aims to enhance economic security and supply chain resilience, benefiting UK businesses through increased trade and investment opportunities.

 

Strengthening Economic Ties

The recent meeting between the British Ambassador and the Guatemalan Minister of Economy underscores a significant step in strengthening economic ties between the UK and Guatemala.

The discussions focused on enhancing bilateral trade, which saw a 4.8% increase in 2024, reaching $155.7 million. This growth is particularly beneficial for UK businesses seeking new markets and investment opportunities.

 

Focus on Supply Chain Resilience

One of the key topics addressed during the meeting was supply chain resilience. Both countries are committed to fortifying critical supply chains to better withstand future challenges.

This focus not only ensures reliable trade partnerships but also supports UK businesses by providing more stable access to essential goods from Guatemala.

 

Efforts Against Corruption

The collaboration also highlights efforts against corruption as a crucial component of their partnership. By improving anti-corruption measures, both nations aim to create a more transparent business environment that attracts foreign investment.

This initiative aligns with the UK’s broader strategy to foster ethical business practices globally.

 

Opportunities for Growth

  • Bilateral trade increased by 4.8% in 2024
  • British imports from Guatemala rose by 17.6%
  • Focus on enhancing supply chain resilience
  • Commitment to anti-corruption efforts
  • Potential for increased cultural exchange and tourism

 

The Broader Context

This development is part of the UK’s post-Brexit strategy to strengthen global trade relationships outside the EU.

The UK’s engagement with Guatemala reflects its commitment to expanding economic ties in Latin America, leveraging agreements like the UK-Central America Association Agreement that have facilitated increased trade figures.
