Senator Don Wehby says that in order for Jamaica to achieve the targeted five per cent growth within the next four years, more focus must be placed on growing small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs).

“The Jamaican economy has been plagued by GDP growth rates of less than three per cent from as far back as 1991. In order to achieve the five per cent growth in GDP by 2020, commonly referred to as the 5 in 4, more focus will have to be placed on growing small- and medium-sized businesses,” he told the Senate last Friday.
