Trade between the UK and Guyana amounted to £1.6 billion up to the second quarter of 2023. For all of last year, the figure was £1.2 billion.

Regional Director of the Common-wealth Caribbean, D’Jamila Ward spoke about trade figures at a reception held on Thursday at the British High Commissioner’s residence in Bel Air Gardens, Georgetown, in honour of the visiting UK trade delegation that arrived here on Tuesday.

Ward remarked that this trade mission between the two countries was not only “monumental” but also beneficial as the UK is capable of assisting Guyana in “revolutionizing the process of trade and commerce”.
