IDB board to meet in Punta Cana

The board of governors of the Interamerican Development Bank and IDB Invest leadership will be meeting in March 2024 at the Barceló Bávaro Convention Center in Punta Cana.

The Interamerican Development Bank announced that development challenges and opportunities in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) will be discussed when the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and IDB Invest hold their annual board of governors meetings in Punta Cana this year.

Economic and financial leaders from the Bank’s 48 member countries and the private sector will meet to discuss topics ranging from tackling climate change to ensuring equitable and sustainable growth and reducing poverty and inequality.

This year will mark the 64th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the IDB and the 38th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of IDB Invest, which works with Latin America and the Caribbean’s private sector.

The IDB said that the 6-10 March board meetings are the top decision-making bodies, comprising finance and economy ministers and other leading officials from the LAC.

“The governors will discuss ways the IDB Group, as the region’s leading source of development financing, knowledge and research, can increase its support for Latin America and the Caribbean amid rising social demands, restricted fiscal space to meet those demands, and the need to increase financing to transition to green economies,” the IDB said.
