KINGSTON, Jamaica - OFFICIALS of the Financial Investigations Division are urging the Government to take steps to carry out its commitment to the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force to ensure several groups are regulated by November this year or risk seeing the country on a watch list which could scare investors.
"In 2012 [the ministries of] Finance, Foreign Affairs, Justice and National Security made a commitment to the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) to see these bodies regulated by November this year," Chief technical director of the Financial Investigations Division (FID) Justin Felice told editors and reporters at the Jamaica Observer Monday Exchange at the newspaper's Beechwood Avenue headquarters in Kingston yesterday.
