The Government of Jamaica is pleased to announce that it has secured US$480 million in the Government of Jamaica’s first structured securitisation transaction in international capital markets. The transaction involved the securitization of the portion of the Norman Manley International Airport revenue that is due to the GOJ.
This statement is in response to a media story today.
The multi-billion Stocks and Securities Limited (“SSL”) fraud, which dates back to at least 2010, and which only came to light in January 2023, was a punch to the gut for all Jamaicans. The magnitude of the fraud, its duration and the fact that the victims included several elderly Jamaicans, as well a beloved icon, shocked the nation. I shared and still share those emotions.
The Government of Jamaica (GOJ) is implementing a Reverse Income Tax Credit (RITC) which will provide a grant of $20,000 to registered taxpayers who earned less than 3 million dollars during year of assessment 2023. The initiative was launched at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.
