📊 Advancing Risk Innovation Through Knowledge Sharing #ICYMI ... CDB was pleased to contribute technically to the 6th Annual BRIM Conference which was held on March 26–27, 2026 in Barbados. Through our presentation and active participation, we reinforced the Bank’s role as a regional thought leader in Risk Management and Development Finance. 🌟A highlight of the Bank’s engagement was a presentation on “How Multilateral Development Bank Balance Sheets Are Being Optimised to Support Resilient Development", delivered by Stefano Capodagli, MBA, CPA- IA, SIRM, AIFIRM and Dindial Ramrattan. The session focused on the purpose and importance of balance sheet optimisation as a strategic risk management tool, enabling greater lending capacity, improved capital efficiency, and sustained support for Borrowing Member Countries amid fiscal, economic and climate uncertainty. The presentation shared CDB’s applied and planned use of key instruments, including Exposure Exchange Agreements, Portfolio Credit Guarantees, Contingent Capital Facilities, and Private Sector Credit Insurance, demonstrating how risks can be shared and redistributed without compromising credit strength or requiring new paid-in capital. 💡Through forums like BRIM, CDB continues to advance its knowledge-sharing thrust, helping to deepen regional understanding of modern risk management approaches that support resilient and sustainable development. 📌Explore CDB’s work in knowledge-sharing and innovation in Risk Management. 👉https://ow.ly/NIZZ50YBZ1s #OurCDB #RiskManagement #RiskInnovation #DevelopmentFinance #CaribbeanDevelopment #CaribbeanLeadership
