The Trade Board Limited, TBL, says plans are in place to update and expand the scope and reach of the Jamaica Trade Information Portal, JTIP.
The JTIP is an informational portal, and the only one of its kind in the English-speaking Caribbean that provides exporters and importers with data on the regulatory requirements to conduct trade transactions.
Trade Administrator and TBL’s CEO, Dr. Hugh Blake, says the dynamic trade environment requires innovative and strategy in how
trade-related information and data are harvested, interpreted and disseminated.
He says the JTIP needs to be a well-organised and efficient source of current and relevant information that is expansive and easily accessible.
The facility was launched in May 2019 by TBL, in partnership with the World Bank and several other government entities that are custodians of the information shared on the portal.
Dr. Blake noted that JTIP is critical to improving Jamaica’s competitiveness through its ranking on the Global Competitive Index and is, therefore, a means of stimulating social and economic growth.
