Jamaica’s economy is built to endure and to grow. At the JSE 21st Investments & Capital Markets Conference 2026 last night, focus was placed on the role of strong capital markets in supporting economic recovery and long-term resilience. In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica has maintained macroeconomic stability and continues to retain the confidence of all three major international credit rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch. Across the country, workers are returning to their jobs, schools and clinics are open, public services are functioning, and businesses are moving forward. Jamaica remains open for business, with investment expanding across key sectors to drive growth, job creation, and shared prosperity.(Andrew Holness)
