PRESIDENT Dr. Irfaan Ali is set to deliver the keynote address at the Caribbean Investment Forum (CIF) 2024, which will be held from July 10-12 at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre in Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara.
His speech, titled “Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges: President Irfaan Ali’s Vision for a Transformed Caribbean,” aims to engage business leaders and investors from the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States, Europe, and beyond.
The event will also feature Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, Guyana’s Chief Investment Officer and Agency Head of the Guyana Office for Investment. Dr. Ramsaroop is slated to open the third day of the forum with a presentation on “Guyana Investment Landscape for 2030 and Beyond.”

Organised by the Caribbean Investment Agency, CIF is recognised as the region’s premier gathering for business leaders and investors. Government officials and business leaders from across the region and the wider world will attend, with discussions focusing on the digitisation of business, sustainable development, sustainable agriculture, and the transition to a green economy. The primary objectives of the forum are to attract targeted investment into these priority sectors and to facilitate interactions between investors and businesses, fostering a greener, smarter economy.

The event will feature a leadership roundtable, a ministerial roundtable, and an investment village, offering unparalleled opportunities for business leaders and investors to network and explore investment opportunities in sustainable agriculture, technology and innovation, and the green economy in the Caribbean.

Dr. Ramsaroop emphasised the significance of local participation, stating, “This forum is a unique opportunity for our local business leaders and investors to engage with their regional and global counterparts. It is a platform to not only showcase what Guyana has to offer but also to learn and expand their operations through strategic partnerships.”
