  • Headwinds Facing the Post-Pandemic Recovery in the Caribbean

    Headwinds Facing the Post-Pandemic Recovery in the Caribbean
    Feb 17 2023
    After two tumultuous years, 2023 remains characterized by headwinds facing countries across the world. Just as the pandemic’s effects began to dissipate in 2021, a new series of shocks emerged to test Caribbean economies’ fragile recoveries and resilience in 2022, linked in large part to residual impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on supply chains and demand conditions, rising inflation and tightening financial conditions, as well as new global shocks — particularly driven by the conflict in Ukraine.
