“Jamaica is geographically central in the Caribbean. My vision is to turn Jamaica into the centre of the Caribbean. A centre of finance, trade and commerce, technology and innovation, and the centre of arts, culture, and lifestyle regionally. This is all possible within our lifetime. Despite any negatives, Jamaica still has a powerful and alluring brand amplifying our voice and influence in the world.”

From “Partnership for Prosperity”, the inaugural address by new Jamaica Prime Minister the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, Thursday 3 March 2016.
