Kingston, December 11 (RHC)-- Opportunities for investment and trade in Cuba were the topics for discussion at the ‘Cuba Demystified’ business forum hosted in Kingston, Jamaica, by Jamaican Promotions Corporation (JAMPRO), PricewaterhouseCoopers and NCB Capital Markets.

The forum, which featured Jamaican and international experts in the investment and trade fields, discussed the opportunities, challenges and procedures to do business in the Cuban market.

With the Cuban economy projected to grow by 5% in 2015, the Jamaican private sector has been urged to take advantage of Cuba's gradual economic growth, based on the special government-to-government relationship between Jamaica and Cuba.

Primarily, that relationship includes special arrangements for financing with the EXIM Bank, cooperation between the ports of Kingston and Mariel and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM)-Cuba Trade and Economic Cooperation Agreement, amongst other benefits.
