The Cayman
Islands Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Ministry of
Finance & Economic Development will host the 2019 Chamber of
Commerce Economic Forum at the Kimpton Seafire Resort & Spa on
Friday, May 31, 2019.

Delegates will
receive an update on the Government’s finances from Hon. Roy
McTaggart, Minister for Finance and Economic Development, and the key
economic policies that the Ministry is considering.

“As the main
goal of the Chamber of Commerce is to help further business
development across our islands, it is important to us to be able to
analyse the impact of policies and assess how much they have helped
or hindered the local business community, in order to provide
recommendation on how to further develop and improve such policies,”
President of the Chamber of Commerce, Chris Kirkconnell, said.

“The policies
that will be discussed at the forum are important for all local
business-owners to know and understand, as these policies directly
impact decisions that they will need to make to ensure that their
business is successful,” Mr. Kirkconnell said. “We
are thrilled to present this opportunity for our members to further
educate themselves on these policies.”

The Economic Forum will also present
delegates with the opportunity to participate in interactive panel
discussions following each presentation, covering topics such as
planning for the impact of Economic Substance legislation; growing a
sustainable tourism product; Preparing Cayman’s workforce and the
new WORC plan and balancing population, infrastructure and economic
growth.

“As always, it is important to us to
give our members a platform to have their quires answered and to
receive clarification on important topic. The Forum serves as a great
opportunity for this,” Mr. Kirkconnell
said.

The Economic Forum is proudly sponsored
by DART, Cayman First, the Department of Tourism and Coldwell Banker.

The forum will
run from 12:30 - 6:30 P.M., on Friday, May 31st.
Tickets are $50, including lunch and cocktail reception and are
