The 12-Point Caribbean Resilience Playbook: A Synthesis for Entrepreneurs and Boards

May 10, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

A few days ago, this series opened with a single observation from the Inter-American Development Bank’s 2026 Latin American and Caribbean Macroeconomic Report: that resilience is not immunity. The Caribbean entered 2026 with the strongest external scoreboard in years — sovereign spreads at 209 basis points, inflation largely contained, unemployment near historic lows, currencies appreciating...

Higher for Longer: Refinancing, Maturity Management, and the New Mathematics of Caribbean Debt

May 10, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

In Article 5 of this series, I argued that Caribbean firms which pre-position their balance sheets for the next risk-off episode will gain market share from those that do not. This week, the series turns to the structural condition that makes that pre-positioning so consequential — the most important shift in the cost of capital...

When Global Risk Turns: Stress-Testing the Caribbean Balance Sheet

May 10, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

In Article 4 of this series, I argued that the critical-minerals window is the most consequential capital-allocation opportunity opening for our region. This week, the series turns to the dynamic that determines whether Caribbean firms can hold and compound the value they capture from such opportunities — or whether they lose it back, painfully and...

Critical Minerals, Critical Choices: What Caribbean Boards Must Decide Now

May 10, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

In Article 3 of this series, I argued that the Caribbean firms that will compound earnings over the next decade are the ones rebuilding their workforce around AI fluency.

Political Risk, Social Instability, and the Board’s Blind Spot

April 11, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Caribbean political stability is real — and Caribbean boards have become so accustomed to that stability that they have stopped rigorously assessing the political and social risks that operate within it. Governance failures, institutional capture, social polarisation, youth unemployment, and the normalisation of informal power are risks that Caribbean boards systematically underestimate because they do...

Caribbean Labour Law Complexity: What Every Multi-Territory Employer Must Know

March 17, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Caribbean is not one labour market. It is fifteen. Each with its own legislation, obligations, and enforcement regime — and the exposure for employers who treat the region as uniform is significant and growing. The Caribbean is not a single jurisdiction. It is a mosaic of fifteen distinct labour law regimes — each with...

Where does each Caribbean jurisdiction stand — and what comes next?

Surviving the Tariff Storm : Strategic Repositioning for Caribbean Enterprises in a Protectionist World

February 26, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Day the Rules Changed On April 2, 2025, the rules of Caribbean trade changed overnight. President Trump’s “Liberation Day” executive order imposed a blanket 10 per cent reciprocal tariff on goods imports from virtually every country in the world, including every CARICOM member state. For Guyana, the rate was set at 38 per cent....

Going Concern and Material Uncertainty: Strengthening Transparency in Financial Reporting

September 10, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

The concept of going concern is a cornerstone of financial reporting. Financial statements are generally prepared on the assumption that the entity will continue operating for the foreseeable future. When this assumption is in doubt, the implications for investors, regulators, and creditors are significant. In April 2025, the IASB and IFRS Foundation staff published new...

Management Commentary Reimagined: Integrating IFRS PS1 with ISSB Standards

September 9, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Financial statements tell a company’s story in numbers — revenues, profits, assets, and liabilities. But increasingly, investors, regulators, and other stakeholders want more: the narrative context that explains how those numbers were achieved and what they mean for the future. That’s where management commentary comes in. Traditionally, this section of annual reports has varied...
