Does Jamaica really need foreign investment?

Does Jamaica really need foreign investment? It's one of the biggest debates in the country right now. Every new hotel, every new development, every announcement brings the same argument: is this growth for Jamaica, or growth on Jamaica?

It's about asking who Jamaica is being built for, and what role we play in it. Join the live chat and bring your questions. Where do you stand? Foreign investment: necessary or overrated?
