The Regional Conference on Investment and the Capital Markets
This year’s Conference will run from Tuesday, January 24 through to Thursday, January 26,
2012 and will be held for the third time in Kingston at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel. The successful staging of the previous event has earned it a place as a calendar event to which the business community, investors and other participants regionally look forward to attend each year. The Jamaica Stock Exchange and our regional counterparts are committed to this event as we are convinced that the focus and the forum can greatly enhance our path towards regional economic development. Major sponsors are Oppenheimer & Co. Inc, Television Jamaica and Jamaica Observer.
The objectives of the Conference continue to be:

v To create an awareness of the importance of the capital market to the economic development and prosperity of the region.
The event is a unique forum for all constituents of the financial services sector to exchange views and develop strategies for engineering an environment to foster successful growth of the region’s capital markets. In the past six (6) years, this Conference has attracted decision-makers; CEOs; accountants, attorneys-at-law and other business professionals from different industries from Jamaica and across the Caribbean.
