Jamaica’s economy grows based on what people spend, what businesses invest, what the Government spends on infrastructure, and how much we export compared to what we import. Over the last decade, the Government has increased spending on roads, bridges and public infrastructure to support growth. We have seen more factories, warehouses and port-related businesses emerging along Marcus Garvey Drive, Mandela Highway and across Kingston. However, despite this progress, Jamaica’s economy has grown by only about US$1 to US$1.5 billion in real terms over the past 10 years. We know we can do better. That is why I am calling on businesses to increase investment, especially modern, technology-driven investment that improves productivity, creates jobs and strengthens our exports. Growing investment is key to growing Jamaica’s economy and improving lives.(Andrew Holness)
