The Pandemic has produced the deepest economic shock on record for most countries in the Caribbean region, and the pace and degree to which countries recover will depend crucially on policy choices and actions of governments in the near term. The surge in new cases further complicates the prospects for recovery as the recession grinds on.

In this podcast, David Rosenblatt, Caribbean Regional Economic Advisor , and Henry Mooney, Research Economics Advisor for the Caribbean Department discuss the new Caribbean Quarterly Bulletin report on policy options for the region in balancing the need to keep citizens safe and open key economic sectors. They point out that regional responses focused on immediate health needs, as well as vulnerable households and corporations have been prudent, but the next phase should include an acceleration of infrastructure investment.

This episode of Improving Lives in the Caribbean is hosted by Golda Lee Bruce, Development Storyteller for the Caribbean.
