The Montserrat Government UK Office (MGUKO) says economic diversification and long-term sustainability remain central to its work.
In its newsletter, the Office stated that in 2025, it supported early-stage investor engagement, facilitated discussions on infrastructure, innovation, and climate-aligned investment, and continued positioning Montserrat as a destination for sustainable and responsible growth.
This work included building a constructive relationship with Lloyds Bank, with discussions underway around retail banking challenges and the potential for improved correspondent banking arrangements to support trade, investment, and financial resilience.
MGUKO also used relevant forums to highlight Montserrat’s financial access challenges and the importance of inclusive banking infrastructure.
It says this work will continue into 2026 as discussions progress and engagement becomes more structured.
The Montserrat Government UK Office is headed by Keiretta Farrell.
During the year, the Office also spearheaded the Montserrat Business Directory, which is being developed to recognize and promote UK-based businesses founded by individuals of Montserratian heritage, supporting visibility, networking, and opportunity-sharing.
It is also working working towards stronger engagement with Montserratian communities in the United States and Canada, including diaspora mapping and relationship-building with community leaders.
