While
Jamaicans in the Diaspora and at home who put their monies in investment clubs
in the island are still reeling from the sanctions against those institutions, Jamaica’s
finance minister is insisting that the Bruce Golding-led government will not
bail them out.
Minister
Audley Shaw repeated the government’s stance on Tuesday, as the clubs like
Olint and Cash Plus fought with the Financial Services Commission in the
Jamaican courts.
Shaw said
while the government is working tirelessly to ensure that these investment
clubs are properly regulated, his administration has not changed its position
on the institutions.
The
financial clubs which the FSC has called ‘investment schemes’, have been under
fire from both government and the Financial Services Commission, for operating
without the proper licenses in their business.
However, in
a bid to resolve the issue, Shaw’s office ministry has sent a letter to the
Attorney General’s office for counsel on any other legislative measures that
can be taken to regulate the investment bodies.
