Jamaica - Project FinancingJamaica - Financing
Major projects are financed by one or a combination of the following methods: private and debt equity; bank loans; retained earnings; development bank financing; international private capital; bonds; and bilateral and multilateral loans and grants. The U.S. government has received reports from U.S. businesspeople noting difficulties in securing domestic financing in Jamaica. Local banks will often request several years of financial statements audited by Jamaican auditors, which newcomers to Jamaica are generally unable to provide. The Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the U.S. Government’s Development Finance Institution, currently finances projects in Jamaica.
