| description |
Financial infrastructure is the
underlying foundation of a country’s financial system. It is
comprised of all institutions, information, technologies,
rules, and standards which enable financial intermediation.
The quality of a country’s financial infrastructure
determines the efficiency of intermediation, the ability of
lenders to evaluate risk and of borrowers to obtain credit,
insurance, and other financial products at competitive
terms. This report covers two dimensions of Jamaica’s
financial infrastructure: 1) payments, remittances, and
securities settlement systems, and; 2) credit reporting
systems. This technical note does not provide a detailed
assessment of individual payments system in the form of a
Report on Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC), but uses
the framework of international standards for carrying out a
detailed analysis of the existing systems in Jamaica,
including the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems
(CPSS) and International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Markets
Infrastructure (PFMIs), the CPSS General Guidance for
National Payment System Development, the CPSS-World Bank
General Principles on International Remittance Services
(GPs), the World Bank General Principles for credit
reporting and related methodologies. The information used in
the assessment includes relevant national laws, regulations,
rules and procedures governing the systems and other
available material. |
