AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Tourism & Trade: Jamaica’s visitor rebound stays strong, with 2.34 million arrivals through Aug. 31 bringing in about US$2.5 billion, even as room stock remains at 70% after Hurricane Melissa; the government also pushes “first preference” for local farmers in tourism supply chains to keep more money in rural communities. Economy Watch: STATIN says Jamaica imported nearly five times more than it exported in Jan–May 2026, with imports at US$3.218b versus exports of US$674.7m, driven by weaker crude material exports. Public Safety & Justice: Justice Minister Delroy Chuck says murder and serious crimes have fallen, crediting the Firearms Act while lawmakers review mandatory minimums; he also says there’s no longer a backlog of expungement applications after 2026 amendments. Community & Youth: Youth Minister Dana Morris Dixon has launched a probe after five children were left in Spanish Town Hospital care for months; meanwhile, ISSA Super Saturday is hailed as a success for school teams’ pre-season preparation. Sports (CPL): Barbados Tridents crushed Guyana Amazon Warriors by six wickets to surge into the playoffs, setting up an Eliminator clash with Jamaica Tallawahs. Athletics (Ultimate): Jamaica’s final-day showing in Budapest was low-key, with multiple fifth-place finishes, as Melissa Jefferson-Wooden won the women’s 200m.
