The Bank came into existence for the purpose of contributing to the harmonious economic growth and development of the member countries in the Caribbean and promoting economic cooperation and integration among them, having special and urgent regard to the needs of the less developed members of the region. The permanent headquarters of the bank is located at Wildey, St. Michael, Barbados. There are no other offices of the bank.

There was an older version pre-2007. I have tried to find a photo of it, but I only have my old notes. Attached is my version of the pre-2009 CDB flag. I am not sure what year it was adopted.
