We have already mobilized approximately US$650 million, about J$100 billion, through our pre-arranged disaster risk financing framework, with an additional US$500 million available through the IMF’s Rapid Financing Facility. These resources give us a strong start; however, our multi-year reconstruction effort will require significantly more support. This is why engaging the international community is so critical. At the G20 Summit, I met directly with global leaders, international financial institutions, climate finance platforms, and development partners to secure broad support for Jamaica’s reconstruction financing. We have formally requested a comprehensive package that includes concessional loans, grants, debt-service relief, climate-related insurance instruments, and technology-driven technical assistance, particularly for resilient infrastructure, sustainable and modern agriculture, and key productive sectors. Our strategic intent is to safeguard our fiscal stability, fast-track our recovery, modernize our economy through technology, AI, and automation, and position Jamaica as a global model of fiscal and economic resilience in the face of climate-driven disasters.(Andrew Holness)
