AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Tourism Innovation Push: The Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) is inviting applications for its Tourism Innovation Incubator, with a June 17 deadline for tourism-linked ideas submitted via tef.gov.jm/incubator, including a 60-second video pitch. Diaspora Investment Drive: Industry Minister Delano Seiveright urged overseas Jamaicans to move beyond remittances into ownership stakes—buying land, investing in businesses, building warehouses, and partnering in modern farming and operations. Housing & Property Finance: The National Housing Trust says diasporans can partner across the housing construction cycle, with opportunities for developers, financiers, and visionaries. Land Enforcement Dispute: Jamaica’s National Land Agency is denying claims that West Albion, St Thomas residents weren’t served notices before demolitions, saying consultations and notices began in 2024 and the lands are reserved for development. Energy Costs Watch: Oil prices dipped below US$80 after progress toward a US-Iran deal, which could eventually ease Jamaica’s fuel-import bill, though local pricing depends on multiple factors. Corporate & Jobs Signals: Indies Pharma Jamaica reported a 38.5% decline in net profit for the six months ended April 30, citing hurricane disruption but showing improvement in the second quarter. Food & Retail Business: Pizza Hut Jamaica’s franchise operator, Restaurants of Jamaica, may be affected indirectly as Yum Brands sells Pizza Hut outside mainland China to LongRange Capital for about US$1.5 billion. Tourism Growth Target: Jamaica’s tourism ministry is pushing a 10x10x10 plan to reach 10 million annual visitors in 10 years, backed by new flights and renewed resort investment.
