Kingston, Jamaica— It is time for Jamaica to claim a larger share of the US$3 trillion global creative economy, says Opposition Spokesperson on Culture, Creative Industries and Information, Nekeisha Burchell.

Burchell addressed the issue on May 13 during her contribution to the Sectoral Debate at Gordon House.

She noted that the global economy is increasingly shaped by streaming, digital media, artificial intelligence, influencer economies, creator platforms and direct-to-audience monetisation. She told the Parliament Jamaican influence is deeply embedded across many of these spaces.
