Safe and efficient payment and securities settlement systems are essential to the effective functioning of financial and capital markets and the wider economies in which they operate. Economic activity is directly supported by an efficient, secure and reliable payment system that reduces the cost of exchanging goods and services. Jamaica’s Payment System Modernisation programme delivered the foundation for financial stability and is now focused on access and utilisation.
