Investing in the future is more than just a financial decision – it is a step towards building a better tomorrow. Dr. Marlene Street-Forrest, the Managing Director of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), has been invited to deliver the final presentation in the Consul General’s Distinguished Lecture Series. This event will take place at the Island SPACE Caribbean Museum in Broward Mall, Plantation, Florida, on Thursday, December 19th at 6:00pm. Dr. Forrest will delve into the topic of “Investing in the Jamaican Stock Market,” shedding light on the opportunities that lie within.
- Jamaica’s Consul General in Miami, Hon. Oliver Mair, extended the invitation to the JSE recognizing the importance of enlightening the Florida Diaspora about investment opportunities. By fostering this connection, Mr. Mair hopes to spark a more profound interest in investing in the stock market among his constituency in the Southern USA. This, in turn, will pave the way for a larger delegation from the region to attend the JSE Investments and Markets Conference in January 2025.
- The JSE’s annual conference is a pivotal gathering in the Caribbean’s financial landscape, setting the stage for investors’ expectations and trends for the upcoming year. Mr. Mair emphasized the significance of the JSE, stating that it plays a crucial role in shaping investment decisions and strategies in the region.

Looking ahead to the 20th Investments and Capital Markets Conference scheduled for January 21-23, 2025, the JSE aims to explore the theme of ‘Safeguarding the Capital Markets: People Opportunities and Progress.’ This event will provide a platform for industry leaders, experts, and investors to discuss key issues and developments shaping the financial landscape.
As excitement builds for the upcoming lecture in Florida, Dr. Street-Forrest expressed her enthusiasm for engaging with the Jamaican Diaspora in the Southern United States. She emphasized the importance of encouraging individuals to participate in the Jamaican Stock Market, highlighting the long-term benefits of investing in wealth creation. This collaboration between the JSE and the Consul General’s office signifies a deeper commitment to fostering financial literacy and empowerment within the community.
Venturing into the Jamaican Stock Market is not just a financial decision – it is a step towards building a resilient, prosperous future. As Dr. Marlene Street-Forrest prepares to share insights during the final lecture in the Consul General’s Distinguished Lecture Series, she invites everyone to partake in this enriching experience.
