Brian Wynter, governor of the Bank of Jamaica
Giving itself a mere three years to achieve its target of almost 100 per cent financial inclusion in Jamaica, the government on Wednesday launched its National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS).
Included are the goals to increase education around personal finance management, increase the number of Jamaicans with transactional accounts and savings; and the aim to expand access to electronic transaction instruments.
At the launch in Kingston, Governor of the Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) Brian Wynter outlined that NFIS has 11 impact indicators which are to be achieved by 2020.
These goals are centred on the enhanced use of retail payments and financial infrastructure, consumer protection and financial capability, MSME finance, agriculture finance, and housing finance.
