The creative sector now accounts for 5.2% of Jamaica's gross domestic product -- which is more than the country's traditional mining sector. It is not only the music industry that is having an enormous impact on Jamaica's creative industries. Bolstered by co-production treaties with the UK, the film industry is making a significant contribution to growth and development opportunities, but not without challenges. While these co-production treaties have improved the market potential for the industry and provided benefits for other sectors, they have not yet had major impact on the production of local content, as many resources are tied up in foreign productions. Despite the challenges, Jamaica is looking to increase support for the industry. Caribbean Community is now seeking to enhance t...

New technologies have fundamentally changed the global music market. The advent of digital networks as a new promotion and distribution medium means that the investments required to produce, market and distribute music is now lower than ever before, offering small recording companies unprecedented opportunities to offer their products at affordable prices for consumers.

Patricia Francis, a citizen of Jamaica, has been appointed executive director of the International Trade Commission (ITC). The appointment was made by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy. Francis will serve for a period of three years, beginning in Jun 2006.
