JAMAICA: THE IDEAL LOCATION TO VISIT AND DO BUSINESS
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Diplomatist
|August 2023
Jamaica is a top business destination in the English-speaking Caribbean. As a nation, we stand proudly on a history replete with satisfied investors and outstanding wins.
Today it is evident that we have continued to build upon that legacy, as a quick glance across our investment landscape will reveal hundreds of leading multinationals and MSMEs.
In business, Jamaica has emerged as a key destination for investment in the region, ranking 7th out of 180 countries in the "Ease of Doing Business" index. The Jamaica Stock Exchange is among the highest performing in the World, in 2015 the JSE was the world leader with a 233% rally, the second best was Vietnam at 86%, which speaks to the business-friendly and sound fiscal environment. Geographically located at the centre of the Caribbean, Jamaica has always been and continues to be a strategic gateway to the Americas.
We have maintained a solid unbroken tradition of democratic stability, strong institutions of the state, commitment to due process and high levels of press freedom, consistently among the top-ranked jurisdictions in the world. Jamaica also boasts a well-trained labour force and is the third largest English-speaking country in the western hemisphere.
