Financial development, access and inclusion are a critical piece of the puzzle for economic growth and development. Our economists have examined the country-specific barriers restricting financial sector development in Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana, and identified where reforms can be made in these countries. Henry Mooney (Economics Advisor), Laura Giles Alvarez (Barbados Country Economist) and Victor Gauto (Guyana Country Economist) tell us more in this podcast hosted by Golda Lee Bruce, Caribbean Development Storyteller.
