MONTEGO BAY, St James — Minister of state in the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce Delano Seiveright has expressed concern that while international investors are increasingly pouring billions of dollars into the country, too many Jamaicans are yet to take advantage of the opportunities unfolding in the Caribbean island. Jampro President Shullette Cox then rattled of a list of areas ripe for investment, including renewable energy, film production, logistics and other growth sectors.

They were both speaking, Monday, during the 11th Biennial Jamaica Diaspora Conference being held at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in St James.

In his address, Seiveright urged Jamaicans at home and abroad to become active participants in the country’s economic transformation by investing and building wealth-generating assets.
