CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean – will host the inaugural International Economic Forum for Latin America and the Caribbean on January 29 and 30 at the Panama Convention Centre. This high-level event will bring together global and regional leaders to discuss and formulate strategies to promote sustainable economic growth and the well-being of people from Latin America and the Caribbean.
The forum, which will serve as a meeting place between the private sector, government authorities and multi-lateral organisations, will have as its main objective to identify and promote innovative strategies that strengthen institutions, promote innovation and digitalisation, advance the transition to green energy, develop strategic infrastructure and generate inclusive opportunities for all. These initiatives are critical to overcoming current obstacles and creating a more dynamic and resilient economic environment.

“Latin America and the Caribbean has the potential to become a region of global solutions to the great challenges of development, but at the same time it must achieve sustained and inclusive growth and address its structural problems, such as inequalities, low productivity or poverty reduction. This Forum will be a key step towards these goals, as it will outline concrete action plans to improve the quality of life and create a fairer, more resilient and sustainable economy,” said Sergio Díaz-Granados, CAF’s Executive President.
Several global leaders will participate in the forum, including Sergio Díaz-Granados, Executive President of CAF; Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development; Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, World Bank Vice President for the Latin America and Caribbean region; Hon. Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda who will also deliver a keynote address; several Ministers of Finance and public finance officials from the Caribbean, among others.
Keynote addresses will be delivered by Mateo Renzi, former Prime Minister of Italy; Helle Thorning-Schmidt, former Prime Minister of Denmark,. Caribbean experts will also participate in key discussions, including Mr. Shaun Rampersad, CEO Ramps Logistics and Ms. Francine Baron, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Dominica and Former CEO Climate Resilience Execution Agency of Dominica (CREAD).
Latin America and the Caribbean faces structural challenges that have limited its economic and social growth for decades. Despite having vast natural resources, a young and enterprising population, and enviable energy potential, the region continues to face low growth and high inequality. The forum will address how the region can achieve inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the coming years.
