Rambarran: Region can grow with green economy
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - he Caribbean has earned an unenviable reputation as one of the most natural disaster-prone and high debt regions in the world, Central Bank Governor Jwala Rambarran said when he addressed the International Conference for Science and Technology for Economic Diversification at the Hilton Hotel.
“The brutal reality is that the Caribbean must find new sources of growth in a very uncertain external environment,” Rambarran said as he highlighted three potential areas where the region could improve its growth and economic diversification with the support of science and technology.
He said the first potential area is the Caribbean Sea where science and technology can help capture economic opportunities likely to arise for a healthier marine environment through promotion of responsible fisheries and aquaculture, adoption of green technologies and reduction of fossil fuel use.
