“The Economic Forum tackles the tough issues and challenges facing the Cayman Islands economy by engaging public and private sectors in a meaningful and robust open dialogue with key stakeholders”, said Chamber CEO Wil Pineau. “This year's forum will focus on ‘Rebuilding a better Cayman’, with our speakers tackling the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the local and regional economy and how the private and public sector can work together to create a stronger and more sustainable future.”
The keynote address ‘The COVID-19 recovery - what is the outlook for the region?’ will be delivered by Ms. Marla Dukharan. Ms. Dukharan is recognised as a leading economist and advisor on the Caribbean, known for her insightful and frequent analysis on the regional implications of international events.
