Jamaican Stock Exchange Calls for American Investment in Caribbean Single Market

Marlene J. Street-Forrest, General Manager of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), has encouraged American investors to consider Jamaica and the emerging Caribbean Single Market (CSM) as the next credible option in their expanding global investment portfolio.

According to Mrs. Street-Forrest, improved efficiency and market confidence through electronic trading options, ongoing market surveillance, increased market capitalization and a foreign exchange rate regime determined by prevailing market conditions, were key policy indicators, which made Jamaica a credible investment option.

“I think we have a facility that investors will now look at in respect to both the policies of the government, the stock market performance and how it compares to the more developed markets and that persons will see that there´s an opportunity for investing in Jamaica and the Caribbean region,” she noted.
