Hidden Cost Project
Project Date: 07 January, 2008
In 2008 the Jamaica Manufacturers’ Association Limited (JMA) received funding from the Canadian Corporation Fund (CCF) to conduct a ‘Hidden Cost’ Study. This study aims to:- Document the number of charges that are levied by government agencies and other institutions on the manufacturing sector.
- Provide an inventory of the sub-sector specific charges.
- Provide a guide for manufacturers to better plan and budget.
- Provide information to investors on the cost involved in operating a manufacturing business.
- Enhance the government’s capability to formulate effective policies for the manufacturing sector.
- Enhance the JMA's capability to effectively lobby for the removal/merging of charges.
Sponsored in part by the Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPSCo).
