The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) is holding the 55th Annual Meeting of its Board of Governors in Brasília, Brazil.
The Meeting is the premier forum for the Bank’s leadership to address the Caribbean’s most pressing development challenges, and harness collective expertise, partnerships, and collaboration to devise impactful solutions.
The event has brought together government leaders from member countries, representatives from International Financing Institutions, technocrats in sectors critical to sustainable development, international development professionals, and influential private-sector stakeholders to shape the future of development in the Caribbean.
The theme of the 2025 Annual Meeting is, “Building the Future: Resilient Institutions for a Greener, Stronger, and Inclusive Caribbean”.
This focus underscores the “rebirth” of the Bank, as the institution transforms to meet the evolving needs of its member. It also highlights the need for strong institutions to drive implementation of high-impact initiatives that facilitate economic growth, foster empowering societies and enable the best possible future for the people of the Region. It also signals the Bank’s commitment to responding to the critical challenges facing the Caribbean by taking action to make the Region’s institutions more fit-for-purpose.
With Brazil as host, the Bank seeks to leverage the opportunity to expand collaboration, tapping into Latin America’s wealth of experience and innovation to support the Caribbean’s development agenda.
The meeting ends on June 12th.
