Amcham Jamaica exploring overseas investments despite COVID-19

Speaking during a webinar titled 'Creation of a new normal — Getting back to business', hosted by Amcham Jamaica recently, Young Sang said there are also opportunities for Jamaican businesses to see what opportunities exist outside of Jamaica which they can access to facilitate further growth.

According to Young Sang, Amcham Jamaica is deeply passionate about seeking opportunities for local businesses, and she looked forward to continuing the collaboration with the US Chamber of Commerce to facilitate infrastructural investment for Jamaica's agriculture and ICT sectors.

The Amcham Jamaica president, during the webinar, highlighted key opportunities that will continue to be explored in order to determine if any further benefits can be extracted or accessed by Jamaican businesses and industries.

Young Sang also gave the commitment of Amcham Jamaica to continue pursuing dialogue with the Ministry of Industry Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries; the US Chamber; and the US Embassy to assist with the further exploration of opportunities identified during the discussions.

Minister of Industry Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries Audley Shaw; US Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice-President for the Americas Neil Herrington; and Joe James, economic/commercial officer at the US Embassy, made presentations during the webinar which covered a number of issues — including how businesses and countries prepare themselves to resume operations, identifying new business/investment opportunities post-COVID-19, and how Jamaica can benefit from supply chain disruptions.
