Second Annual Regional Investments and Capital Markets Conference in Guyana opens
The second Annual Regional Investments and Capital Markets Conference in Guyana commenced last evening, October 8 at the New Pegasus Hotel. The event is the result of a collaboration between Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) and the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) and is being held under the theme ‘Financing for success: Where passion, prosperity and people align.’
The two-day event is an important forum for discussing the direction of capital markets in the region. With keen focus on expanding access to equity capital and creating an environment where more people can participate in financial markets, the conference will highlight the importance of access to capital for business sustainability, and is underpinned by the view that strong, inclusive capital market will provide the answers for many problems that Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and other companies experience.
Yesterday’s opening ceremony saw remarks being delivered by Managing Director of JSE, Dr. Marlene Street Forrest; Chairman of JSE, Mr. Steve Whittingham; Chief Executive Officer of NCB Capital Markets Limited, Mr. Angus Young, and Managing Director of Jefferies Private Wealth Management, Mr. Gregory Fisher.
