Both countries share common membership of the Caribbean Development Bank, the Commonwealth, the International Criminal Court, and the World Trade Organization, as well as the CARIFORUM–UK Economic Partnership Agreement. [2] Bilaterally the two countries have a Tax Information Exchange Agreement. [3]

History

The UK governed the Bahamas from 1648 to 1973, when the Bahamas achieved full independence.

Economic relations

From 29 December 2008 until 30 December 2020, trade between the Bahamas and the UK was governed by the CARIFORUM–European Union Economic Partnership Agreement, while the United Kingdom was a member of the European Union. [4]

Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the UK and the CARIFORUM states signed the CARIFORUM–United Kingdom Economic Partnership Agreement on 22 March 2019. The CARIFORUM–UK Economic Partnership Agreement is a continuity trade agreement, based on the EU free trade agreement, which entered into force on 1 January 2021.
