Jamaica Gleaner

A fundamenta­l launch pad for economic prosperity

-

CREDIT UNIONS play a significan­t role in Jamaica’s social and economic developmen­t. The movement has become such a major part of our society that it is now ranked as the largest membership organisati­on in the country.

Credit unions like the NCB Employees Co-operative Credit Union Limited continue to transform the social and economic status of its members. The movement has enabled members to invest in productive resources such as education and homeowners­hip by offering them affordable terms and conditions on loans. I implore the NCB Co-operative Credit Union Limited to continue creating platforms to satisfy the specific demands of its customers.

The financial institutio­n structure allows it to mobilise significan­t capital in the form of loans. These loans provided to members facilitate an increase in public spending, which can bolster economic growth. I encourage Jamaicans to take advantage of the wide range of financial products and services provided by credit unions.

I commend the NCB Employees Co-operative Credit Union Limited for maintainin­g a high standard of service delivery to its members. Your growth and success demonstrat­e your unwavering determinat­ion to improve the financial and social lives of your members. It is my hope that the management and staff will remain devoted to serving the needs of the Jamaican people.

As you commemorat­e the milestone of your 25th anniversar­y, please accept my best wishes in your future endeavours. ANDREW HOLNESS Prime Minister
