State Minister in the Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Delano Seiveright met with representatives of the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and the US Embassy in Kingston on Tuesday morning to discuss development finance options and ways to mobilise private-sector investment in Jamaica’s priority sectors.

Among those in attendance at the meeting was Michael McNulty, Regional Managing Director for Central America and the Caribbean at the DFC, the US Government’s development finance institution.

The DFC has a global investment portfolio authority of up to US$60 billion, supporting private-sector-led development through loans, guarantees, equity investments and political risk insurance.
