This morning, I welcomed the newly appointed Governor of the Bank of Jamaica, Dr. R. Brian Langrin, for a courtesy call at my Office. We discussed the Bank’s priorities and its continued role in maintaining monetary and financial stability, strengthening confidence in Jamaica’s economy and supporting the country’s long-term economic development. As Jamaica continues to advance its economic transformation, sound monetary policy, strong financial institutions and prudent economic management remain important to sustaining stability and creating an environment for investment and growth. I congratulate Dr. Langrin on his appointment and look forward to the continued contribution of the Bank of Jamaica to Jamaica’s economic development.
