About this listen

Our latest issue of the Caribbean Quarterly Economic Bulletin highlights new IDB research suggesting that many Latin American and Caribbean countries lag behind most advanced economies in digital and telecommunications infrastructure. Closing these gaps could yield dividends in productivity, employment, and growth—particularly for the six members of the IDB’s Caribbean Country Department (The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago). For some Latin American and Caribbean countries, the benefits in faster growth outweigh the costs.

In our podcast, host Golda Lee Bruce talks with co-authors David Rosenblatt (Regional Economic Advisor, IDB Caribbean Department), Henry Mooney (Research Economics Advisor, IDB Caribbean Department) and Antonio Garcia-Zaballos (Sector Lead Specialist, Telecommunications), who share some key insights from the publication.
