Tourism continued to drive activity, but performance was uneven. While cruise arrivals posted robust gains, the high-value stopover segment weakened due to limited accommodation capacity. Total visitor arrivals for the year to July rose 8.5% to 7.4 million, powered by a 10.5% jump in sea passengers, even as air arrivals fell 1.3%.

Labour market conditions softened. Unemployment climbed to 10.8% in the first quarter of 2025 from 9% at the end of 2024, with youth joblessness rising sharply to 20.9%.

Jamaica Broilers Group (JBG) has reported a slowdown in profitability for the first four months of its 2025/26 financial year, with U.S. operations weighing on group performance.

The poultry producer booked year-to-date revenues of J$33.96 billion to August 30, but rising costs trimmed margins. Gross margin slipped to 22.4%, down from peaks earlier in the year, while operating profit came in at J$3.1 billion.
Profit before tax fell to J$1.9 billion across the period, with a particularly weak August (Month 4) when profit before tax dropped to J$187 million compared to J$710 million in June.
The company stressed that these results are provisional and unaudited, pending its official quarterly report and audited financials in line with IFRS and Jamaica Stock Exchange rules.

Sagicor Life Jamaica has expanded its critical illness plans to include early-stage breast and prostate cancer coverage, a first in the local insurance market.
The move allows clients diagnosed with non-invasive breast cancer or early-stage prostate cancer to access up to J$1.25 million as an advance payout.

The benefit provides 25% of the insured sum upon a first diagnosis, with no increase in premiums. Crucially, the remainder of the policy stays intact for other critical conditions once premiums remain current.
