Consider Buying Shares in Public Companies Listed on JSE – PM Holness

  • Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness is encouraging ordinary Jamaicans to participate in the ownership of State entities being shortlisted for privatization through placement on the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), by purchasing shares when Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are announced.

 

  • He says this will, among other things, afford them the opportunity to share in the potential capital gains and profits to be generated.

 

  • This, the Prime Minister added, is consistent with the Administration’s thrust to create an ownership economy characterized by inclusive participation by Jamaicans at all levels.

 

  • He was speaking during the opening ceremony for the JSE’s 14th Regional Investments and Capital Markets Conference at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston on Tuesday (January 22)
