IMF concerned about rise in high risk investment schemes
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has turned the spotlight on high-risk investment schemes operating in Jamaica in its report on the latest Article Four Consultation.
While praising the authorities for the sound performance of the financial sector, the IMF pointed to what it says has been an apparent rise in unregulated investment schemes promising very high returns.
In its executive board assessment the IMF called for increased vigilance over these schemes.
It also recommended continued efforts to strengthen consolidated supervision and prioritising the development and testing of crisis management systems in Jamaica's financial sector.
