The Caribbean region is economically and culturally diverse, and in general can boast of stable democratic governance and liberal institutions, viable tourism and agricultural industries, proximity to large markets, and monetary stability. Many of the region’s economies possess middle-income status with a few at industrial country income levels.
Looking at the region as a whole, continuous challenges to development, in the form of lackluster economic growth, worrisome poverty, high rates of unemployment and looming government debt, impede further growth and hamper the region’s ability to achieve its full economic potential.
CIGI is undertaking a fresh examination of the way in which the Caribbean region could meet these economic challenges. The project convenes researchers and private and public sector leaders to examine and provide substantive and relevant answers and policy prescription to current economic governance challenges.
