Among the officials expected to attend the forum are current and former regional heads of government, finance ministers, central bank governors and private-sector representatives, as well as senior staff of the IMF and other international organisations.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness, and IMF Managing Director, Christine Lagarde, are the keynote speakers for the opening ceremony.

The conference is being held under the theme ‘Unleashing Growth and Strengthening Resilience in the Caribbean’.
