Strategic Partnership for Investor Education
Gerald Wight, Vice President of Investment Banking at GK Capital Management
“We are excited to once again partner with the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce to host the quarterly Business and Consumer Confidence Indices series to discuss what’s happening in our nation’s economy,” says Gerald Wight, Vice President of Investment Banking at GK Capital Management. “As always, GK Capital stands ready to support corporate companies seeking to raise capital for large scale projects including timely ones for critical challenges such as energy and infrastructure,” he added
Wight will participate in a round-table discussion on energy usage, and will be joined by Cecil Foster, Founder and Managing Director of FosRich Company Limited and Michelle Chin Lenn, Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Wigton Wind Farm, noted names in the energy solutions sector.
Closing out the discussion will be Don Anderson, Executive Chairman, Market Research Services Limited (MRSL). Anderson is also set to reveal the results and analysis of his Q4 research on the economy to cover topics relevant to the average Jamaican.
“It’s interesting to see what Jamaicans are thinking this time around. Our prior survey showed that both business and consumer confidence fell quarter over quarter in 2024. Q3 results also indicated that crime and unemployment were top concerns. Notably, despite half of the households surveyed anticipating short-term income growth, they maintained cautious spending habits. As for the matter of energy, consumption typically peaks during the last quarter due to increased holiday usage. The results will show how Jamaicans have managed their energy consumption, with experts providing guidance on navigating energy usage in the year ahead”, noted Anderson
