JAMAICA attracted US$699 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2014 or 7.0 per cent higher year-on-year, according to just published data from a United Nations-based regional body.
The president of the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) William Mahfood welcomed the investment levels but argued that the island could surpass US$1 billion.
