## Resource

Prime Minister Andrew Holness is rallying Jamaica around a bold new national mission: building a culture of efficiency as vital to the nation’s future as its natural resources. He envisions efficiency as a wealth generator, comparable to tourism or bauxite, and urges Jamaicans to embrace innovation, entrepreneurship, and personal responsibility—seeing work not as servitude but as agency. Business leaders in western Jamaica support the push, citing efficiency’s potential to boost productivity, cut delays, and attract investment. Yet they caution that the drive for efficiency must protect workers, especially those lacking technical skills, calling for urgent reskilling and training to prevent job losses from automation. With streamlined government operations, they argue, Jamaica can slash bureaucracy, reduce costs, and redirect resources toward critical infrastructure and education—fueling a stronger, more competitive business environment.
