In the wake of the onslaught of COVID-19 which served to exacerbate the debt and vulnerability challenges facing the subregion, the Caribbean Development Roundtable this year turns the spotlight on recovery and repositioning, with a view to finding practical and workable solutions to invest in resilience, economic recovery and sustained growth. The Roundtable, through panel discussions and dialogue among policymakers and key stakeholders, will be updated on the progress being made towards the establishment of the Caribbean Resilience Fund.

 

The Roundtable will also explore other opportunities for mobilizing innovative and concessional financing for investment in resilience building and adaptation. This is to promote economic recovery through diversification and a deepening of integration within the regional economy, and through global repositioning with the international community's support.
