The 2021-2025 Country Strategy will support restoring macroeconomic sustainability, promoting private sector competitiveness, and improving basic services and social protection. Economic stabilization requires improving public expenditure management and strengthening public administration while protecting the social safety net. The longer-term priorities focus on private sector development, digitalization, financial inclusion, and strengthening social protection.

Strategy and Projects

Suriname is one of the founding member countries of the IDB. Like all the shareholders, Suriname appoints a Governor, who represents the country on the Board of Governors.

For day-to-day business at the Bank's Headquarters in Washington, D.C., Suriname is represented by a chair on the Board of Executive Directors. The chair, shared with Brazil, is headed by an Executive Director, who is elected to a three-year term by the Governors of Suriname and Brazil.

Country strategies remain valid for one year beyond the stated period, as they remain active throughout the preparation of the following strategy.
