AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Housing & Disaster Response: Prime Minister Andrew Holness says another 300 container homes will arrive today, with 1,200 already in-country and the rest expected by July, as Jamaica scales up relocation support after Hurricane Melissa. Shelter Funding: Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie announced an extra $60 million for municipal emergency shelters ahead of hurricane season, with a shift toward building larger shelters in Clarendon, St Elizabeth and Westmoreland. Built Environment & Approvals: The revised building code and approvals process saw 1,377 applications valued at $68.8 billion from January to March, while the Jamaica Fire Brigade flagged its role in rebuilding through fire-safety plan reviews and inspections. AI Governance: The National AI Task Force will produce a draft national AI policy by November 2026, alongside AI literacy work for the public sector. Data Protection Enforcement: Government moves to fully activate enforcement under the Data Protection Act by strengthening the Office of the Information Commissioner. Manufacturing Exports: JMEA urges manufacturers to diversify export markets after a 13.4% export decline and Melissa-linked production and logistics disruptions. Tourism & Logistics: Jamaica pushes its logistics hub pitch after hosting the USS Nimitz, while tourism leaders tout new regional initiatives and Jamaica wins a Caribbean Media Award for its “Love Island Influencers” campaign. Marine Protection Alarm: A report warns offshore oil exploration in the Walton-Morant block could threaten south-coast coral reefs, seagrass and key fishing grounds.
