Invest Barbados Anchors June 18 Caribbean Economic Forum Targeting $1 Billion in Deals

The inaugural Caribbean Economic Forum runs June 18-19 at the Hilton Barbados, powered by Invest Barbados and convening roughly 150 investors and development-finance players around energy, water, food systems and the blue economy. Organisers cite more than US$5 billion in available blended finance and target at least US$1 billion in transactions over two days.

The diaspora angle is opportunity: Barbados is positioning itself as the region’s deal-making table, having reached a precautionary IMF stand-by arrangement earlier this year. For anyone weighing regional investment, this is where the pipeline gets set.
