State Minister for Industry, Investment and Commerce, Delano Seiveright, has challenged Jamaicans abroad to claim their share of the country’s economic growth.

Addressing the 11th Biennial Jamaica Diaspora conference at the Montego Bay Convention Centre yesterday, he noted that shifting global dynamics, including rising inflation and increased cost of living overseas, have upended stability in many countries.

Mr. Seiveright said the time is ripe for Jamaicans to invest in the country because the country’s economy remains stable amid global challenges.

He also highlighted relative exchange rate stability, prudent fiscal management, the strong net international reserves and the confidence Jamaica continues to enjoy among international financial institutions and investors.
