Belize strengthens regional presence: Dustin Rennie and Luigi Wewege represent the nation at CAF International Economic Forum
Panama City, Panama - February 9, 2026 - Belize was represented at the International Economic Forum Latin America and the Caribbean, hosted by CAF - Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, with participation from Dustin Rennie, Director of RE/MAX Belize, and Luigi Wewege, President of Caye International Bank.
The forum convened policymakers, heads of state, investors, business leaders, and multilateral institutions from across the region to discuss economic growth, investment, sustainability, and regional integration. Often described as the "Davos of Latin America and the Caribbean," the event provides a platform for shaping the region's economic trajectory.
Rennie and Wewege attended to strengthen Belize's engagement with regional development institutions and position the country as a strategic partner for investment and sustainable growth, reflecting the nation's commitment to private-sector-driven development and regional collaboration.
Belize's strategic role in regional development
Belize occupies a unique position in Latin America and the Caribbean, bridging Central America, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and international markets. Its strategic location, combined with a stable, English-speaking business and legal environment, aligns closely with CAF's mandate to promote inclusive and sustainable development.
Belize offers several advantages relevant to CAF's priorities, including:
* A stable, English-speaking business and legal environment
* Leadership in environmental conservation and climate resilience
* Strong potential in sustainable tourism, infrastructure, and real estate development
* A growing financial services sector with international reach
Participation at the forum allowed Belizean representatives to engage directly with regional decision-makers, exploring opportunities for investment promotion, infrastructure development, and private-sector-led growth initiatives.
