It takes cash to care - the words of one former prime minister that perhaps still holds true for Jamaican governments.
For small and medium-sized enterprises it certainly takes sufficient capital financing to start and grow a business.
The difficulties in accessing this kind of support have for many decades created significant problems for entrepreneurs ultimately stifling and stymieing national growth.
The need for access to financing now takes on new dimensions in the context of an economic crisis and so in this week's episode of Beyond the Crisis, we examine the role of financial institutions in the process of Jamaica’s economic recovery.

It has been five years since Jamaica embarked on the road to establishing and building out a legal ganja and hemp industry. The goal has been for the development of an orderly industry where the plant and it’s by-products are used for medical, therapeutic, and scientific purposes.

There was much optimism at the start of the journey about the great prospects to be reaped in light of Jamaica’s history with the growth of the plant. But this has seemingly turned into despair, disappointment, and despondence for several players in the sector who've bemoaned publicly the slow pace of development.

But with the Planning Institute of Jamaica now forecasting a 9-10% contraction in the local economy for the current fiscal year is this industry in a position to make its mark and contribute to economic recovery and growth?

The Cannabis Licensing Authority is the agency mandated to create regulations to guide the industry and issue licenses. Permits and authorization for the handling of ganja and hemp.
We sat down with its legal officer and director of research, development, and communication to gauge the current direction of the agency.
Felicia Bailey provided an overview of the current state of the industries and activities now taking place.

Employment in the sector expanded in 2018 moving from 79 thousand 425 to 79 thousand 600.

June 15 would be the day Jamaica reopened to international guests who were perhaps anxious to leave lockdown and quarantine back home to enjoy Jamaica’s sun sea and sand. It was also helpful that Jamaica’s response and management to the pandemic have received the international endorsement.
Now some six weeks later the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association is reporting that 15 percent of the business is now operational with employment levels only back to 9 percent of pre-COVID 19 levels.

The recovery taskforce says success will require building an economy that can thrive even with the realities of COVID-19.
It's recommending that the government recommit to and accelerate macro-fiscal reform and business climate improvements.
A strong recovery from COVID-19 it says will require the maintenance and entrenchment of macro-economic stability and improvements in the business climate that will boost productivity. This will rest heavily on completing institutional reforms and legislative amendments.
And...the restoration of the tourism sector will be a key pillar of recovery.
