The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB, the Bank), through its Cultural and Creative Industries Innovation Fund (CIIF), is placing data at the heart of its strategy to drive sustainable growth in the region’s creative economy. Speaking at CIIF’s Creative Talk panel, “Collect, Analyse, Activate! Leveraging National Creative Economy Data,” which opened a high-impact symposium entitled “Banking on Culture: Data, Policy and Finance,” CIIF Fund Coordinator, Malene Joseph, highlighted the sector’s untapped potential, noting that many areas—such as intellectual property and international export—remain under-optimised.
