AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Reparations Push: CARICOM Reparations Commission chair Sir Hilary Beckles says the regional movement is in its “final phase,” unveiling a revised ten-point plan and calling it the last “eruption” of reparatory justice. Opposition Economy Watch: PNP finance spokesperson Julian Robinson rejects the Finance Minister’s claim that Jamaica’s economy is improving, citing a roughly $30B tax revenue shortfall and inflation near 8% that could lift interest rates. Migration Deal Sparks Anger: Jamaica has finalized procedures for a US “third-country nationals” transit arrangement allowing up to 25 people every two weeks; the PNP and civic groups are protesting, demanding full disclosure and raising security and rights concerns. Tourism Pension Rollout: Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says the Tourism Workers Pension Scheme will start paying benefits to the first cohort within three years, with a target of $100B in the fund over 10 years. Prison Reform Step Forward: Corrections leaders met in Kingston on modernising regional corrections and developing a Caribbean Correctional Academy. Market Pressure: Coronation Market prices keep climbing amid drought impacts, with tomatoes at $500/lb and lettuce at $1,500/lb. Local Development & Jobs: Government hands over upgraded irrigation for Clarendon agro-parks under REDI-II; LANCO plans a new St. Catherine manufacturing facility for paints and adhesives; and NMIA apron reconstruction begins with worker safety safeguards. Sports & Culture: Antigua & Barbuda Falcons book the first CPL final spot; and Parliament’s standing orders modernization gets a push for simpler, public-friendly rules.
