The International Economic Forum for Latin America and the Caribbean 2025: How to Return to the Path of Growth, will feature the participation of exhibitors from 15 countries, including high-level authorities from Latin American and Caribbean governments, multilateral organizations and business leaders.
Panama, January 28 2025 – CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean – will host the inaugural International Economic Forum for Latin America and the Caribbean on January 29 and 30 at the Panama Convention Centre. This high-level event will bring together global and regional leaders to discuss and formulate strategies to promote sustainable economic growth and the well-being of people from Latin America and the Caribbean.
The forum, which will serve as a meeting place between the private sector, government authorities and multi-lateral organisations, will have as its main objective to identify and promote innovative strategies that strengthen institutions, promote innovation and digitalisation, advance the transition to green energy, develop strategic infrastructure and generate inclusive opportunities for all. These initiatives are critical to overcoming current obstacles and creating a more dynamic and resilient economic environment.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
