Jamaica Stock Exchange

Business View Caribbean 7 pact the way you operate – expansions, upgrades, new initiatives? When we talk about the Exchange, we’re talking about the Exchange Group, because we have subsidiaries. The Jamaica Stock Exchange has a subsidiary called the Jamaica Central Securities Depository (JCSD) and it has a subsidiary called the Trustee Services Lim- ited. I say that in order to answer that question. The Stock Exchange, in and of itself, supports the market in terms of the listing of companies, of bonds, and different markets. We, in turn, are supported by the JCSD, which is the settlement arm of the company. We see ourselves as providing full service, so, in terms of building out our resources, we added the Trustee Ser- vices and other services, like registrar services. And that is how we are developing the Exchange, or the Exchange Group, in order to provide full services in re- spect to anything related to securities. These are on- going improvements and expansions to ensure the vi- ability and sustainability of the Exchange. So, we don’t only depend on revenue in relation to trading on the market, but on other things, as well. Anything else new or planned for the near-term? You have to be relevant. So, we just launched our on- line trading platform and that is just to keep up with technology and to offer to our investors another way in which they can connect and trade through the Stock Exchange. That is a strategic direction so that persons in the Diaspora, and persons all over the world, can purchase or transact easily and more conveniently. The traditional picture of a stock exchange floor is a noisy, raucous place where people are shouting orders and screaming over one another. But these days, as you suggest, a lot of trading is being done online. Do you have that traditional trading floor any- more?
