AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Business & Investment: Great Wall Motor (GWM) will open its first dedicated Jamaica showroom on South Camp Road on Wednesday, June 3, with the launch attended by industry and commerce officials and backed by Stewart’s Automotive Group’s long local presence. Disaster Preparedness: Jamaica is set to get US$200 million in new hurricane insurance coverage after the World Bank issued a 2026 catastrophe bond, replacing the prior US$150 million payout triggered by Hurricane Melissa. Public Safety: Kingston’s South Camp Road saw a deadly explosion and fire at a garage facility adjacent to the Beryllium compound; one external contractor died, two were airlifted to the US for burn care, and another remains in hospital. Community Health: AdventHealth and Andrews Memorial Hospital ran a five-day medical mission health fair in St Elizabeth, delivering free consultations, screenings, dental care, and medication to nearly 700 residents. Local Security: A taxi operator was shot dead in a suspected targeted attack in Linstead, St Catherine, as police investigate the gunman and motive. Food & Markets: The Ministry of Agriculture’s national Farmers’ Market push helped move 108,517 kg of produce and generated about $43 million in revenue for local growers.
