Central America–United Kingdom Association Agreement

The Central America–United Kingdom Association Agreement is a free trade agreement between Central America and the United Kingdom. The agreement is a Trade Continuity Agreement that governs trade and broader cooperation between Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and the United Kingdom following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union.

Negotiations for this agreement were driven by the need to replace the arrangements previously covered by the Central America–European Union Association Agreement, which ceased to apply to the UK after Brexit. The new agreement closely replicates the effects of the Central America-EU deal, preserving preferential trade conditions and establishing a free trade area for goods, while also providing a platform for further trade liberalization and cooperation in areas such as investment, intellectual property, and public procurement. The text of the trade part of the agreement is largely based on the provisions of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement, adapted to the specifics of the Central America–UK relationship.
