AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Tourism & Air Access: Opposition tourism spokesperson Andrea Purkiss says Jamaicans are being “priced out” as airline quotes between Montego Bay and Florida reportedly hit about US$3,700+ and some routes sell out, even as non-resident arrivals rise. Digital Government for Charities: Charitable organisations can now register and renew status online via JSWIFT, with the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce and Jamaica Customs Agency aiming to simplify access for groups at home and in the diaspora ahead of FATF review. Environment & Marine Restoration: NEPA begins coral spawning observation dives across four marine ecosystems, warning reef condition has shifted from poor to critical and pushing restoration using resilient coral colonies. Climate & Water Security: UNCCD COP17 delegate Delroy Williams calls for more financing to move from drought and land degradation talks to implementation, stressing water security and sustainable agriculture. Banking Leadership: NCBJ appoints Sheree Martin as CEO effective Sept 1, 2026, to continue efficiency and customer-experience priorities. Tourism Recovery: Royalton Negril reopens after Hurricane Melissa restoration, bringing back 960 workers and adding 573 rooms, with more Royalton properties slated to return. Customs Scam Alert: Jamaica Customs Agency warns the public about scammers posing as customs officers and urges payments only through authorised channels. Tech Export Milestone: Amber Group says its Amber IoT has surpassed one million devices deployed across Africa, supporting utilities, logistics, retail and security. Diaspora Business Link: GraceKennedy invites diaspora university students for the 2027 Birthright Programme—an all-expenses-paid six-week internship and cultural immersion. Industry & Jobs: Campus Without Walls names a new CEO, Arbaje-Thomas, to expand virtual statewide classes and eventually add industry-specific work skills.
