It is not business as usual for the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), and president Daniel Best made that clear on Wednesday.
He said that following a year where it approved and disbursed more than US$400 million to borrowing member countries, the Barbadosbased institution would implement “an ambitious but practical reform programme” called ‘CDB Forward’.
He outlined the mission when the bank’s 56th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors opened in Nassau, The Bahamas, under the theme Forging The Caribbean’s Future: Strategic Solutions For Uncertain Times.
He said that ultimately, ‘CDB Forward’ will position the bank to serve the Caribbean “with greater purpose, credibility and impact in a decade that will demand nothing less”.
