USAID Country Head Commends Establishment of Jamaica Social Stock Exchange

• Country Head for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Jamaica, Jason Fraser, has hailed the newly established Jamaica Social Stock Exchange (JSSE) as an innovative mechanism to mobilize capital for the public good.
• This, he noted, by contributing to the financial viability of the non-profit sector and social enterprises.
• An initiative of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), the JSSE was launched in January by Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, and is designed to facilitate funding, through donations, for the activities of entities involved in the delivery of social programs to the society’s most vulnerable and marginalized citizens.
