Finance minister urges Jamaicans to close insurance protection gap
Finance Minister Fayval Williams is urging Jamaicans to take a more deliberate approach to insurance coverage, warning that many people remain inadequately protected against disasters and other unforeseen events. Speaking at the 30th anniversary banquet and awards ceremony of FIRM Insurance Brokers Limited at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston on Saturday, Williams said the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa had exposed significant gaps between the losses suffered by Jamaicans and the level of insurance protection they had secured.
