2 March 2026, Basseterre, St Kitts and Nevis - The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) will host the 10^th Annual Growth and Resilience Dialogue from April 22 to 24, in partnership with the OECS Commission, The World Bank, and The University of the West Indies.

This year's dialogue will be held under the theme "Big Push: Resilient Leadership in a Dynamic World: Turning Global Uncertainty into Opportunities for Partnerships and Shared Prosperity."

Speaking on ECCB Connects, Senior Project Specialist, Projects and Technical Assistance, Governor's Office, Sybil Welsh, says the forum focuses on actionable strategies and plans to drive the growth and competitiveness of the region and to have a blueprint to ensure prosperity. She recalls that over the past nine years of existence, many public and private sector persons and institutions have leveraged the learning gained to chart the way forward.

Welsh adds that, in keeping with Governor Antoine's Big Push, this forum is part of this agenda where resilient leadership, agile focus, growth mind set and transformation are the anchors and levers that will guide the future.

The Growth and Resilience Dialogue has become a key platform for shaping the growth agenda of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). The ECCB first launched the initiative in 2017 as part of an agenda to forge consensus on a plan of action for addressing growth, competitiveness and employment in the ECCU.
