On 4 April, the UK signed an Economic Partnership Agreement with CARIFORUM States, including the Dominican Republic. This will provide continuity for businesses, exporters and consumers as the UK prepares to leave the EU.

The UK is currently designing a package of funding to help businesses in the Caribbean to take full advantage of the market access granted by the EPA.
