The annual RF Economic Outlook (RFEO), under the theme Evolving Risks: The Way Forward is scheduled for Tuesday, March 14th, 2023 at Baha Mar.

Marla will also appear on a panel discussion at the event, under the topic, “Global minimum tax and what it means for The Bahamas’ financial services industry”, alongside the Honorable Michael Halkitis, Minister of Economic Affairs and Leader of Government Business in the Senate and Kevin Moree, Partner at Mckinney, Bancroft and Hughes. 

Known for its hard-hitting themes, RFEO has become a highly anticipated event attended by professionals, C-Suite business leaders, policymakers, and curious minds. The 2023 event will explore the impact of the exponential changes left in the wake of a period of intense disruption.

“While disruption was the catalyst for accelerated innovation and technological advancement over the past 2 years, it has also spawned a wide range of rapidly evolving risks across the world that will likely have a significant impact on our businesses and our lives,” said RF Group President & CEO, Mr. Michael Anderson. “Geopolitical issues between the US, China, and Russia, the ongoing Ukraine war, energy disruptions plus the highest level of inflation in decades are all major issues that will impact us in the Caribbean. Our team of world-recognized speakers are well positioned to advise on the expected outcomes of these risks so as to minimize the negative impact of these global trends on our continued growth. We invite all to join us in gaining valuable insights and strategies as we look forward together.”

Registration is now open. Special rates are also available for members of accredited associations looking for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits. The event includes a welcome breakfast, five inspiring sessions, a full lunch, tons of networking opportunities, and access to a post-event cocktail reception.
