The Caribbean Stock Exchange

Finance is perhaps not among the first 3 things that come to mind when one thinks of the Caribbean. Vacations, beaches, hotels, yes, but high finance, well not so much. However, the Caribbean is increasingly becoming an economy well worth looking into. Caribbean people have been found to be among  the most entrepreneurial in the world. The proliferation of the internet has also greatly aided in leveling the playing field, creating more opportunities than has ever been seem.

The benefits to be had are tremendous, both for entrepreneurs and for investors alike.

At Caribbean Value Investor we believe that the Caribbean region is poised for remarkable economic growth. There are numerous developments which support this view point. Among these are plans for the establishment of a global logistics hub in Jamaica, the opening up of Cuba and improved foreign direct investment in many of the smaller islands of the Lesser Antilles. Besides this, the emergence of blockchain technology has brought about a new era of change in the world, one that is not exclusive to developed nations.

The Caribbean region is however susceptible to the natural disasters, primarily hurricanes. We would do well to improve our infrastructure with this in mind. The company that decides to undertake this challenge may benefit immensely from the investment in but a few years. We believe that the region would have a more marketable proposition if there existed a regional stock exchange.
