Bahamas Hosts Caribbean Development Bank's 56th Annual Meeting at Baha Mar

The Bahamas hosted the Caribbean Development Bank’s 56th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors at the Baha Mar Convention Centre in early June, putting Nassau at the centre of the region’s development-finance agenda. The gathering set funding priorities for climate resilience, infrastructure and disaster preparedness across member states.

For the diaspora, the meeting signals where concessional money is heading and which national projects it will back. The Bahamas using its hosting role reinforces its push to be seen as a regional financial hub, not only a tourism economy.
