Guyana among Caricom countries to nominate ‘pick’ for IDB presidency

Guyana is among eight Caribbean countries that are expected to submit the names of nominees to replace dismissed US citizen Mauricio Claver-Carone as president of the Inter-American Development Bank.

The other Caricom member countries that are members of the bank are the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Haiti, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.

Earlier this week, the bank informed its governors that the process to nominate candidates to be the next president was now open following Claver-Carone’s removal from office. The governors must signal their nominations within 45 days of being notified that they can proceed.
