Gibraltar looks to increase trade with Morocco

Gibraltar Chronicle · Sovereign GroupUpdated Aug 2026

Gibraltar treats Morocco as a full trading partner under the UK–Morocco Free Trade Agreement, signed in 2019 and in force since 1 January 2021, which extends to Gibraltar as a UK Overseas Territory.

The Government of Gibraltar has been in talks with Rabat to re-establish direct air and sea routes across the Strait, and the UK's ambassador in Rabat has publicly highlighted the enormous potential for trade between the two.

GMBA works with businesses on both shores to navigate these opportunities — orientation, introductions and coordination — with regulated advice left to qualified professionals.
