Hace 10 años Uruguay ingresaba al Programa Regional de la OCDE para América Latina y el Caribe, priorizando un acercamiento mutuo sobre los ejes de productividad, sostenibilidad, gobernanza e inclusión. Hoy nos toca asumir su co-presidencia junto con Costa Rica. @CancilleriaUy
Los 10 años del Programa Regional de la @OECD_LAC para #ALC marcan una década de diálogo sobre políticas y aprendizaje entre pares. La próxima década es para implementar y @el_BID reitera su compromiso de formar parte de esta nueva etapa.
Productive exchange with @MathiasCormann to strengthen the @the_IDB and @OECD partnership. As more #LAC countries deepen their engagement with the OECD, we are working together to turn standards and evidence into reforms, investment, and growth.

#RegionalIntegration is not just about roads, ports, or transmission lines. It is about making systems work together. In the latest @the_IDB#EspressoChat, CEO @franniemkoba and I discuss why integration also depends on compatible rules and efficient processes. Watch it here: https://t.co/fs7573WMHe
Excellent conversation with @MathiasCormann, Secretary General of the @OECD, on advancing support for accession and engagement processes with countries including Argentina, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Panama, and the Dominican Republic — helping support reforms and competitiveness.
We also discussed our work through the OECD Latin America Regional Programme and related events, as well as joint publications such as the recent Caribbean Development Dynamics report — all concrete examples of what this cooperation can deliver.

#Panamá ha construido una trayectoria sólida. Ahora tiene la oportunidad de dar un paso más. Les invito a leer mi artículo en @EstrellaOnline, donde explico cómo el acercamiento a la @ocdeenespanol puede ayudar a ordenar prioridades, fortalecer instituciones y respaldar la agenda de crecimiento 👉https://t.co/8XDSBNVdz6
The IDB Group brought together ministers, governors, and partners from #Barbados, #Belize, #Guyana, #Jamaica, #TheBahamas, and #Suriname in #TrinidadandTobago for the #ONECaribbean Ministerial, marking two years of regional cooperation with real results: alignment of over a billion dollars of IDB Group operations, leveraging US$20 million in IDB non reimbursable resources to raise $13 million in donor grants, and 30+ proposals to our regional Project Preparation Facility.
The event featured the launch of the Caribbean Development Dynamics 2026, a joint publication with the @OECDdev and a call to action to scale up investment, deepen cooperation, and innovate in financing across the #Caribbean.

My gratitude goes to @antonedmunds@cncockburnRepBD Shirley Gayle Sinclair Natacha Marzolf Karla González Carvajal @adrianalv01 Lorena Solórzano Julian Belgrave. Thank you!
Two years ago, our Governors asked @the_IDB for something different: a regional platform built around their priorities. That was the origin of #ONECaribbean, and today in 🇹🇹 we see results: alignment $1B+ of IDB Group operations, leveraging $20M in IDB non-reimbursable resources to raise $13M in donor grants, and 30+ proposals to the Project Preparation Facility. And the best is still ahead 👉 https://t.co/zZTaiq8yMu
The #ONECaribbean Ministerial Dialogue is a great opportunity to advance our work. I met with 🇧🇧 Minister Caddle and reviewed our advances in water, health, energy, agriculture or digital startups. We also talked about the upcoming @BIDInvest Sustainability Week, the 2026 meeting point for the private sector in the #Caribbean 👉https://t.co/BtItGzzu3a
#Suriname 🇸🇷 is part of 3 @the_IDB regional programs, #ONECaribbean, #AmazoniaForever, and #SouthConnection, reflecting its unique strategic role. With Minister of Finance Adelien Wijnerman, one message stood out: this is a key moment to turn new opportunities into lasting, inclusive growth. 🎥Watch our chat: https://t.co/gQ6tqswIGv

Current boss @the_IDB@igoldfajn + former boss @wto@NOIweala in one picture.
Different chapters, same mission: development that expands opportunity and improves lives.
I had to smile — clearly, I have a type.
Grateful to learn from both.
