JAMAICA’S micro financiers are concerned that they are not included in the deliberations on post-COVID-19 economic recovery, including at the level of the task force appointed to make recommendations to the Government.
Acting president of the Jamaica Micro Financing Association (JaMFA), Andrew Mais told the Jamaica Observer that his body has joined with the other major micro finance association — the Jamaica Association for Micro-Financing Ltd (JAMFIN) — to create a joint representative committee to take the issue to the Government.
Mais said it is unfortunate that neither the microfinancing institutions nor the Small Business Association (SBA) are represented on the task force, which is expected to make an initial report to Minister of Finance and the Public Service Dr Nigel Clarke, this week.
