Bridging the Gap: Fintech for Growth and Sustainability | Dr. Andre Haughton

this presentation, Dr. Andre Haughton, Shadow Minister of Science, Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship, explores how financial technology (fintech) can drive economic growth, sustainability, and financial security in Jamaica. From promoting financial inclusion to enhancing productivity and supporting small businesses, Dr. Haughton breaks down the opportunities and challenges within the fintech landscape. He also addresses critical issues with Jamaica’s digital currency implementation, including its lengthy four-step process compared to simpler credit card payments, poor marketing to financially excluded communities, limited internet access (only 55% coverage), lack of blockchain integration, and internet dependence unlike successful offline models like M-Pesa in Africa. Learn how fintech can bridge the gap to create a more inclusive, innovative, and sustainable financial ecosystem for Jamaica. #Fintech #Jamaica #DigitalCurrency #Blockchain #FinancialInclusion #EconomicGrowth #DrAndreHaughton #Sustainability #innovations
