NCB Capital Markets’ Christopher Williams, new JSE Deputy Chairman
 |
| Christopher Williams, Managing Director NCB Capital Markets Limited |
The Jamaica Stock Exchange’s three main initiatives for the upcoming year will be spearheaded by the new Deputy Chairman, Mr. Christopher Williams who is the Managing Director of NCB Capital Markets Limited (NCBCM). Mr. Williams was previously a Director of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE), but was appointed on June 24th as Deputy to the Chairman, Curtis Martin, head of Capital & Credit Merchant Bank.
As Deputy Chairman, Mr. Williams is charged with oversight of three main JSE programmes –
- the Junior Stock Exchange,
- the establishment of a Caribbean Exchange Network
- the planned implementation of a training institute by the JSE.
These are key areas of concentration for the JSE as they seek to position the entity as the primary conduit of profitability and success for businesses in the region.
The JSE continues its work on the Junior Stock Exchange which is geared at facilitating the benefits of being listed to local mid-sized companies. For its Caribbean Exchange Network initiative, the Exchange aims to facilitate easier trade between the major economies of the region and encourage more investors to the market, while its plans for a JSE Training Institute are being developed with a view to enhancing the knowledge base and sophistication of the investing public and professionals.
Mr. Martin expressed great pleasure in the appointment of Mr. Williams as his second: “Chris has been an active member of the board for the past 5 years. This was a natural progression for one so talented in the field. I am certain he will do much to bolster our position through his leadership on the topical issues.”
