Conceived in 2014 as part of the Central Bank of Barbados Distinguished Visiting Fellowship programme, the Caribbean Economic Forum tackles the many issues confronting the region, and offers its peoples the opportunity to hear from and pose their questions to leading thinkers in the field of economics, finance, and more.
In 2020, in response to the ongoing pandemic, the forum s format was revamped, transforming it from a once-a-year event into a six-part series, Caribbean Economic Forum: Beyond COVID , that featured policymakers, technical experts, and people in the trenches.
Now the series returns with a new season and new guests as the region continues to tackle the issues and attempt to find solutions that will help it adjust to and thrive in the post-COVID era.
