The Jamaica Stock Exchange and You is brought to you by CUMAX Wealth Management, "making more possible." Cable television is a system of delivering television programming to viewers via radio frequency signals transmitted through electrical cables; in more recent systems, light pulses through fibre-optic cables. You might be wondering why I am opening up with this information about cable TV on the JSE's podcast. I have a good cause. The JSE's mission is to contribute to the growth and development of the territories where they conduct business, by facilitating the mobilization, exchange, and expansion of capital while providing a return on equity acceptable to their shareholders. I know first-hand that the organization does nothing that is out of alignment with its vision and mission. Today, we will examine how the JSE's latest venture, the Caribbean Business Exchange, aligns with its mission and vision. To tell us all about that is Andre Gooden, Business Development Manager at the JSE. Some of what we looked at were: What is the CBX? How does the CBX align to the mission & vision of the JSE? How will the CBX benefit investors? What kind of content can we expect from the CBX? How will the CBX be different from what already exists? And lots more.

At some point in the life of an individual, organization or government, they will need to borrow money to fund their projects. Lending agencies will want to ensure that they are creditworthy, which their credit ratings can help determine. A credit rating can be assigned to any entity that seeks to borrow, whether it be an individual, a corporation, a state or a sovereign government. To simplify an otherwise complex issue of credit ratings is Wayne Dass, CEO of Caribbean Information & Credit Rating Services Ltd (CariCRIS).

Up until recent decades when behavioral economics has led to renewed attention to emotion and subjectivity, subjective approaches such as hope, peace and love were not seen as good fits when having dialogue about the economy. Rather, there was much more focus on rationality, self-interests and other objective benchmarks. The effects of hope are positive, ranging from longevity and health to innovation and well-being. But false hopes, disappointment, or possible manipulation of societal hope must be guarded against. Nevertheless, in these atypical times, we need a spirit of hope, love and peace to help us navigate our economic restoration. To help me explore the topic of “Why messages of hope, love and peace are importing the development of our economy,” is Dr Donald Rhodd, Love Changes Life. Some of what we looked at were: In these times when we have important things to focus on like GDP, finance, exchange rates etc to focus on, why is it important to spread messages of hope, love and peace? What is the relationship of these principles to economic development? And lots more.

According to psychiatrictimes.com.  "A new Lancet Commission report on mental health said that mental disorders are on the rise in every country in the world and will cost the global economy $16 trillion by 2030...“Mental health is often neglected and underfunded, even though nearly 2 billion people suffer from mental illness every year...As young people face the brunt of the global burden of mental illnesses, the report places great emphasis on experiences in childhood and adolescence, which shape life-long mental health."  Clearly, there is a cost to society when its citizenry isn't whole in all areas of their lives. Dr Donovan Thomas, Founder, Choose Life International joins me today to talk about "The Role of Mental Health in Achieving Economic Wellness."

In the words of Bob Marley, "One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain." We know that music has several benefits including improving mood, decreasing pain and anxiety, and facilitating opportunities for emotional expression. Over the years, countless research suggests that music is good for our physical and mental health in numerous ways. BUT does it also have the potential to be an effective and viable means of social intervention especially in areas of the inner-city? Well, to share insight is the Project Manager for the Agency for Inner-City Renewal (AIR), Dr Henley Morgan as we talk about Music as a viable means of social intervention. Some of what we looked at were: How does music benefit individuals? Do all types of music have the same positive impact? Let's talk about your work in Trench Town...when and why did that start?

Countries, companies and constituents all aspire to achieve development. Oftentimes, this comes at the expense of putting our future generations at risk. The question is, does development really occur if what we do doesn't leave the world better than we found it? Is it worth it if our actions leave our planet in distress? Does the end justify the means? Over the years, markets and socialism have been looked at as being mutually exclusive concepts.  In recent times, we have seen somewhat of a middle ground taking its place in the traditional market dichotomy. The result is a sweet spot that takes into account social business, impact investing and now even social stock exchanges. Why is it necessary for the private sector to support the social sector?  We will find out in this episode. I have invited the Hon. Thalia Lyn, JSSE Brand Ambassador to talk about  the Value of Private Sector Support for the Social Sector. Some of what we looked at were: You are an Ambassador for the Jamaica Social Stock Exchange, what does this mean? What has Jamaican society given you and why do you feel so strongly about giving back? What are some of the ways in which your company, Island Grill, supports the social sector? And lots more.

In a 2018 bloomberg.com article, it states, "It doesn’t take much investment to make a tiny market boom, and the total value of the 37 stocks in the main Jamaica index is less than $11 billion, smaller than the valuation of Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc."  But does size really matter and how can we work with our neighbours in ensuring that we create a bigger market for our investors? This week we travel virtually across the waters to delve into the topic, "Bringing Cayman and Jamaica Stock Market closer – Creating a bigger Market for Investors."
