KINGSTON, Jamaica — For Jamaican businesses looking for capital to expand, export or modernise production, the African Export-Import Bank’s (Afreximbank) deeper push into Jamaica could become more than another diplomatic engagement.

It could give local companies another route to financing.

The bank held its first Jamaica roadshow on June 2 at the AC Hotel in Kingston, bringing its trade finance, investment and advisory products directly to local businesses, financial institutions and Government officials.
