PARAMARIBO, Suriname, Sept. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Suriname today announced the successful execution of the first ever Trade & Investment Forum held in Miami, which was a great venue for the dialogue as the city is the gateway to the Americas and the Caribbean.

The Honorable Gillmore Hoefdraad Minister of Finance explained the investment landscape and highlighted key areas that are available for development, including extractive industries, agriculture, tourism, and infrastructure. Given Suriname's abundant and diverse natural resources as well as the country's educated workforce, delegates showcased the capacities available for development and discussed the benefits of investing in Suriname to an interested audience.

"We are committed to fostering a diverse economy in order to provide economic stability, and this Forum is a significant step towards accomplishing our mission to attract more foreign investment and expand trade opportunities for Suriname," said Minister Hoefdraad.
