At the end of 2026, Jamaica's economy is expected to be 2% smaller versus the end of 2019. That is the cumulative effect of back-to-back growth shocks. (Pandemic, Hurricanes Melissa and Beryl + drought effects.) Recovery to Q4 2019 size expected by H2-2028. (IMF, STATIN, PIOJ)

In 2029, Jamaica's economy is forecasted to be 3% larger than it was as at Q4 2019 which is an annual growth rate of ~0.3%. This is the challenge of back to back shocks. This excludes the 2026 energy crisis and El Nino. (IMF/World Bank data).

Scotia Group Jamaica is de-listing from the JSE due to a buy out from the parent company. End of an era. Prudent to look at what stock local asset managers would replace it with. Scotia Group was a reliable and liquid dividend engine with strong reporting standards.

In a shallow market with substandard investor relations, you have to be able to not just read the numbers but what is behind them. For years, I was concerned about Jamaica Broiler's weak cost controls. The substandard margins didn't make sense. jamaicaobserver.com/2021/09/…

According to IMF data, from 2007-2016 Jamaica's GDP growth averaged 0.0% while inflation averaged 9%. This means most Jamaicans on a fixed income saw a reduced living standards over the period. Many Millennials would have been in school during that time. If you are educated but struggling to make ends meet today, external factors have played a role.

Economics needs to become a core subject in more schools. Children should learn of inflation and price curves from grade 7.

You’ll never understand how damaging insecure leadership is until you’ve worked under someone who got their role because of connections or tenure, rather than merit & talent.

Importantly, this situation obtains not just in Jamaica but most countries in the western hemisphere. This provides a learning opportunity to improve and scale. 9/9
