Duncan, who has served as Vice President of PSOJ, shared that he is looking forward to this new role as he believes that Jamaica is at a critical juncture in its economic history where the current domestic economic environment is favourable and creates real opportunities for the benefit of all Jamaicans.
Duncan stated “The PSOJ will play a leadership, collaborative and facilitatory role in engaging stakeholders under the umbrella of the PSOJ, the State and Civil Society in being a catalyst for Jamaica achieving its social and development objectives under Vision 2030.”
The thrust going forward is to build on the platform laid to date by the PSOJ that have focused on addressing issues of SME growth, access to finance, and safety and security.
Duncan stated that “The modus operandi will be continued advocacy with a special emphasis on engagement, consultation and collaboration on strategic initiatives which can have a meaningful impact on the Private Sector – from Micro businesses to large Corporates, which will contribute to inclusive growth for all Jamaicans”..
The strategic areas include:
“We, the Officers, recognize that the mandate we have given ourselves as Officers and Management is ambitious but we have every intention on capitalising on this favourable environment and having a positive impact on Jamaica’s economic landscape,” noted Duncan.
