South Africa’s G20 presidency comes at an important time for developing and climate-vulnerable states. Jamaica supports the global effort to make growth sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. Our experience shows the value of disciplined macro-fiscal reforms, responsible debt management, institutional strengthening, and focused pro-growth measures. These actions stabilized our economy...

Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates, It is an honour to address this Biennial Summit. We gather at a moment when the 2030 Agenda is in peril. It is estimated that we need to close a financing gap of $4 trillion annually if we are to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. A succession of crises has exposed the fragility of our interconnected economies and revealed deep inequities in our capacity to respond. While some nations are able to mobilise trillions to shield their citizens and economies from pandemics and other emergencies, others are left constrained by debt and denied fair access to global capital. We should use this Summit to push for the full implementation of commitments made across various forums – from the Financing for Development process to the #G20 and Climate Change COP. We must strengthen coordination between the UN, the African Union, the G20, international financial institutions and other global financial actors, embedding inclusivity at the heart of global economic governance. To close the SDG financing gap, we need to undertake the following bold measures: Firstly, we need debt relief and restructuring that is faster, fairer and more comprehensive. Secondly, we need to mobilise affordable, accessible financing from a wide range of sources. Thirdly, we need to rechannel unused Special Drawing Rights to countries in need. Fourthly, we must scale up concessional finance through development banks. Lastly, we must reform global tax rules to curb illicit financial flows Beyond financial instruments, we need confidence that commitments will be honoured and that global rules will be shaped by all members, not just a few. Let us forge a new compact for financing sustainable development rooted in solidarity, equity and mutual accountability. South Africa stands ready to ensure this Summit becomes a turning point in our collective effort to build a sustainable, inclusive and resilient global economy. I thank you. #UNGA80 🇺🇳

At the G20 Summit, I outlined the impact of Hurricane Melissa, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic. While the full economic toll will take months to finalize, early estimates already show catastrophic losses. For Jamaica, and for small island developing states across CARICOM, the climate crisis is not abstract. It is an immediate and existential threat. A single climate event can erase decades of development and destabilise public finances overnight. Disaster risk reduction is therefore not optional, it is central to our national survival. Jamaica is determined to rebuild stronger and more resilient. We have activated our disaster-risk financing framework to support immediate response and recovery. But the scale of devastation exceeds what small economies can manage alone. I extend sincere appreciation to our international partners whose support has been critical. The unprecedented strength of Hurricane Melissa, following recent storms such as Hurricane Barry, underscores the urgency of global action. The world must adhere to the 1.5-degree target. Failure to act will guarantee more frequent and more destructive storms for countries like ours. Resilience must guide us. Investing in resilient infrastructure, diversified energy systems, and preparedness is simply sound economics. We call on G20 members to provide climate finance at the scale and concessionality required to rebuild, expand risk-transfer mechanisms, and strengthen agricultural systems that sustain livelihoods. Jamaica is committed to a just energy transition and to achieving at least 50% renewable electricity by 2030. But achieving these goals demands partnership, technology, financing, and capacity-building from major economies. Let us build the partnerships necessary to strengthen resilience and accelerate the transition to clean energy for the benefit of present and future generations.

My attendance at the G20 South Africa underscored the importance of Jamaica’s presence, both as a nation navigating a recent disaster, as well as on behalf of the CARICOM region. Having a seat at the table allows us to advocate directly for the issues that shape our region’s future, especially as climate impacts intensify across small island states. I extend sincere thanks to President Cyril Ramaphosa for the invitation and for South Africa’s leadership during its G20 presidency. Throughout the engagements, I met with global leaders to advance conversations on climate financing, resilience, and the urgent need for fair, accessible support for vulnerable nations. Jamaica remains committed to raising its voice, strongly, strategically, and with purpose.

I recently participated in the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, where I engaged world leaders and heads of major international institutions to advance Jamaica’s recovery and reconstruction efforts following Hurricane Melissa. I presented Jamaica’s damage and loss assessments, along with our Recovery and Reconstruction Plan, to the IMF and World Bank as part of our push to secure the necessary financing. I held productive discussions with President Cyril Ramaphosa, President Emmanuel Macron, President Lula da Silva, Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, all of whom expressed support for Jamaica’s recovery agenda. Nigeria also committed assistance, and the World Health Organization has agreed to mobilize emergency health resources for Jamaica. The Summit’s sessions focused on disaster risk financing, climate transition, and debt sustainability, key issues for Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. Our participation ensured that Jamaica’s needs were clearly represented, and we secured important commitments to support our reconstruction and long-term resilience.

At the India–Seychelles Joint Press Meet, PM Narendra Modi said that while Seychelles is often seen as a group of islands on the map, India views it as a partnership of far greater significance. He highlighted opportunities for cooperation in fisheries, marine science, coastal management, renewable energy, and sustainable tourism to strengthen shared development. He noted that island nations and the Global South face the harshest impact of climate change despite contributing the least, calling for fairness and equity in global climate action. He also highlighted India’s progress in clean energy, sustainable living, and global climate partnerships over the past decade, and reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening cooperation with Seychelles and supporting Small Island Developing States in building a resilient future. #PMModiInSeychelles

In an interview with the Executive Editor of NDTV, Vishnu Som, I had the opportunity to share my thoughts on my official visit to India and the profound importance it holds for strengthening Jamaica-India cooperation. 🇯🇲🇮🇳 One of the critical areas we discussed is the importance of working together on climate change technology. Jamaica, like many other small island developing states, is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and the advancement of green technology is essential for our resilience. We also recognize the transformative power of technology in lifting people out of poverty. India’s success in leveraging technology for social and economic advancement provides an important model for Jamaica. India, with its growing expertise in this field, stands as a valuable partner in helping us develop sustainable solutions that will benefit our people, our economy, and our environment. This visit signifies a new chapter of partnership, shared values, and mutual development. #JamaicaInIndia

We must speak plainly about what is happening in Cuba. Cuba is our Caribbean neighbour. Their doctors and teachers have supported countries across our region, including Jamaica. Our histories are connected, and we care deeply about the Cuban people. Today, many Cubans are facing serious economic hardship, energy shortages, and growing humanitarian challenges. We are sensitive to their struggles. But we must also recognise that a prolonged crisis in Cuba will not remain there. It can impact migration, security, and economic stability across the Caribbean, including Jamaica. Jamaica stands for democracy, human rights, accountability, and open, market-based economies. I believe lasting stability comes when people have opportunity, a voice in their governance, and the freedom to build and invest. This moment calls for responsible leadership and constructive dialogue, particularly between Cuba and the United States, to ease tensions and promote reform and stability. Jamaica will continue to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people while supporting practical steps that lead to stability and shared prosperity for our region.

As close neighbours, our prosperity and security are deeply interconnected, and we remain committed to strengthening collaboration that promotes sustainable development, investment, and innovation. Jamaica remains steadfast in its dedication to strong diplomatic ties, mutual cooperation, and strategic partnerships that uplift our people and enhance our global standing.

🇨🇳China unveiled BIG MOVES to support Global South at G20 Leaders' Summit. It's China's eight actions for global development, here's the detail👇 1⃣is to pursue high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. On top of 700 billion yuan ($96.7 billion) added financing windows and an additional 80 billion yuan ($11.1 billion) injection into the Silk Road Fund, China is moving ahead with the development of the multidimensional Belt and Road connectivity network, one that is led by the building of a green Silk Road and will empower a digital Silk Road. 2⃣is to implement the Global Development Initiative. On the basis of over 1,100 development projects already in operation, China will make sure the Global South research center that is being built is fit for purpose, and the $20 billion of development funds will continue to be put to good use to support developing countries and deepen practical cooperation in areas such as poverty reduction, food security and digital economy. 3⃣is to support the development in Africa. Xi said that at the Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation held in September, he unveiled 10 partnership actions on joining hands with Africa to advance modernization over the next three years and, in this connection, a commitment of 360 billion yuan ($49.7 billion) in financial support. 4⃣is to support international cooperation on poverty reduction and food security. China decides to join the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, supports the G20 in continuing to convene the Development Ministerial Meeting, and will stay a committed host of the International Conference on Food Loss and Waste. 5⃣is that China, alongside Brazil, South Africa and the African Union, is proposing an Initiative on International Cooperation in Open Science to help the Global South gain better access to global advances in science, technology and innovation. 6⃣is to support the G20 in carrying out practical cooperation for the benefit of the Global South and using outcomes such as the Roadmap to Increase Investment in Clean Energy in Developing Countries and the High-Level Principles on Bioeconomy to good effect. China supports the work of the Entrepreneurship Research Center on G20 Economies based in Beijing, and supports cooperation on digital education and the digitization of museums and ancient archives. 7⃣is to implement the G20 Anti-Corruption Action Plan.

China has announced the decision to give all LDCs having diplomatic relations with China zero-tariff treatment for 100 percent tariff lines. From now to 2030, China's imports from other developing countries are likely to top $8 trillion.

This morning, I attended the United Nation’s High-Level Panel on Sustainable Ocean Economy. The ocean is one of our most valuable resources, it supports climate stability, biodiversity, jobs, and food security. It’s worth to people and the planet cannot be overstated, which is why we must keep moving forward. Action must be faster, stronger, and better coordinated, and ocean priorities must remain high on the global agenda. Small states like Jamaica, in collaboration with our international partners, are doing our part. We bring leadership, solutions, and lived experience, and we will continue to use our voice to champion these critical causes that impact us directly.

I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Millionaire Concept Global for this honour, and for the trust placed in me through my appointment as a member of its International Board. This is a step I deeply value for the important significance it carries in strengthening Africa’s presence within global spaces of business, investment, and international partnerships. I view this honour and appointment as a responsibility before it is a recognition, and as an opportunity to contribute to expanding bridges of cooperation between Africa and international business communities, while opening broader horizons for cross-border economic partnerships. This comes in line with the major transformations taking place across the continent, and with Africa’s dynamic youth potential, promising markets, and growing investment opportunities. I am also pleased to mark the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between Dinar Holding "Kenya" and Millionaire Concept Global, which establishes a practical framework for joint cooperation, supports the platform’s expansion into East Africa, and strengthens engagement between African companies, entrepreneurs, investors, and sector leaders from around the world. Today, Africa is no longer viewed merely as an emerging market; it has become a pivotal continent for opportunities, investment, innovation, talent, and entrepreneurship. From this perspective, we at Dinar Holding Group believe that the future is built through serious partnerships, long-term vision, and institutional work that connects local opportunities with international markets, making trade and investment effective tools for development and prosperity. My sincere appreciation goes to all partners and friends who supported this step. We look forward to a new phase of cooperation and joint action that strengthens Africa’s position in the global economy and opens wider pathways for integration, investment, and sustainable development.

Forging global partnerships is essential to our development. The Government of India, through its accomplishments and innovations, stands as an excellent development partner. My visit here has solidified the tremendous potential for collaboration, and we have already signed key partnership agreements. India has made significant strides in its development and, though much larger than Jamaica, it has faced and overcome many of the same challenges we now confront. Despite the physical distance between Jamaica and India, we share common bonds through culture, the Commonwealth, CARICOM, and cricket. India’s willingness to deepen our friendship and cooperation is a testament to the great mutual benefits that can be achieved by working together. Jamaica should view this renewed push for cooperation as an important step toward the overall improvement of our people. Beyond government-to-government cooperation, we are focused on health, education and training, energy, technology, and sports. India has a large and vibrant business community, and Jamaica is an excellent destination for investment. My heartfelt thanks go to Prime Minister Modi for the warm reception extended to Jamaica and for the hand of cooperation. I look forward to the positive impact of our discussions on both the people of India and Jamaica.

Jamaica, I pledge we will never return to the dark days of economic chaos. Stability was never our destination—it was the foundation for the future we’re building together. Now, we are entering a new chapter: creating growth that benefits everyone, where every Jamaican can see their dreams become reality. We’ve worked too hard and sacrificed too much to turn back now. Fiscal discipline is part of who we are, and while our progress is remarkable, we must grow faster to reach our full potential. Climate challenges, like Hurricane Beryl, have set us back, but we have proven time and again that Jamaica bounces back stronger from every challenge. Our focus now is recovery, resilience, and real opportunities for all.

It is a deal that gives unprecedented market access for over 99% of our exports by value, providing a massive impetus to our labour-intensive sectors and bolstering 'Make In India.' This partnership forged between the 4th and 2nd-largest economies, accounting for one-third of global trade, will create unprecedented trade and investment opportunities benefiting businesses, MSMEs, women, youth, artisans, workers, students, skilled professionals, fisherfolk, farmers, and exporters, among others. With care being taken to shield sensitive sectors, rural livelihoods have also been secured while opening up potential to scale in the high-value EU market. A big win has been secured in the services sector with a future-ready mobility framework that will help expand global opportunities for our skilled Indian professionals. This deal is a gateway to the future, enabling India to create high-value jobs, drive innovation, and firmly cement its position as a globally competitive hub for talent and sustainable economic growth.

We had a detailed discussion with Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko on preparing our strategy for energy recovery and enhanced protection of the energy sector for next winter. We will finalize the strategy by March 1 and approve it afterward. This is to ensure that the European Commission, European countries, the United States, global businesses, and Ukrainian companies with the necessary capacity can all join in and work together with us — alongside our people — to strengthen resilience and expand our capabilities ahead of next winter. Of course, this also concerns the period this year when Russian strikes may continue targeting our infrastructure and our cities.

The Government of Jamaica will begin reconstruction efforts with approximately US$1.15 billion in immediately available funds, including US$500 million from the IMF’s Rapid Financing Instrument (RFI), which carries no policy conditionality. This funding allows the government to start addressing urgent infrastructure, residential, and public recovery needs. Preliminary assessments indicate total damage of around US$8.8 billion, with the government likely responsible for at least half, meaning additional borrowing will be necessary to fully fund reconstruction. While the government is in a strong fiscal position to begin this work, careful management of every dollar will be essential. Priority will be given to assisting those who cannot help themselves and rebuilding critical public infrastructure, ensuring a disciplined and sustainable approach to recovery.
