Seminar: Reimagining the Caribbean in the Wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has had fundamental and potentially long-lasting impacts on the Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs) of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). All but one of the BMCs recorded declines in gross domestic product (GDP), and 13 of these suffered double-digit contractions. Unemployment increased and there was extensive loss of livelihoods. There has been considerable public debt accumulation, as governments were obligated to increase expenditures to manage the health and social fallout from the pandemic while suffering deep declines in revenue. This webinar will have an expert panel who willexplore some of the protracted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on BMCs; the policy imperatives for recovering from the impacts; and the keys to building a region that is far more resilient to external shocks.
