Abstract

The technical assistance (TA) scoping mission to Nassau (November 2025) aimed to establish a robust framework for quantifying the macroeconomic impacts of climate-related natural disaster risks in The Bahamas. At the request of the Central Bank of The Bahamas (CBoB), the project focuses on operationalizing the DIGNAD model to assess trade-offs between debt financed resilient infrastructure, fiscal sustainability, and economic growth. The mission evaluated the authorities' readiness to incorporate these risks into medium-term projections and provided hands-on training on DIGNAD. Key outcomes include upgrading the forecasting toolkit to support evidence-based policy design and climate-resilience planning.
