Jamaica Touris Minis, Onorab. Edmund Bartlett, te revele ke Touris Workers Pension Scheme (TWPS) kounye a gen plis pase senk mil manm, ak plis pase 15,000 aplikan potansyèl yo.
Konplo a espere benefisye dè milye de moun ki travay nan la Sektè Touris, tou de dirèkteman ak endirèkteman, epi yo pral mande pou kontribisyon obligatwa pa anplwaye ak patwon yo sanble.
Dènyèman, Minis Bartlett te mete ajou Palman an nan prezantasyon li fèmti nan deba sektè 2022/23 li a nan Palman an, te anonse ke Konsèy Administrasyon an pou Scheme Pansyon Travayè Touris yo te rankontre dènyèman pou revize pèfòmans konplo a depi lansman li an janvye.
Minis Bartlett te di ke Konsèy la te endike konplo a kounye a gen anviwon 5,500 manm, e li te ajoute ke jiska prezan majorite manm sa yo te peye prèske $90 milyon nan fon an. Mesye Bartlett te note tou ke devlopman sa yo te fèt depi fevriye ane sa a, e ke gen anviwon 15,000 anplwaye ki “annatant pou vin manm” Scheme Pansyon an.
Mesye Bartlett te di ke li ap antisipe ke ajoute nouvo pisin lajan ki pral kreye nan Scheme a pral yon chanjman jwèt pou ekonomi peyi a.
Minis la te di ke li estime ke figi a pral ant "$400 milya a $500 milya dola pandan Scheme a matirite," ajoute ke li espere plis pase 350,000 travayè touris yo dwe angaje nan pwogram nan. Mesye Bartlett te asire ke "sa a pral yon chanjman jwèt an tèm de pisin nan kapital ki pral disponib pou devlopman nan enfrastrikti ak lòt biznis."
Antretan, Mr. Bartlett te mete aksan sou ke Plan Pansyon an "se pa sèlman yon plan pou bay sekirite sosyal, men tou yon estrateji pou sekirite ekonomik peyi a" ajoute ke li pral pèmèt pou kwasans lan nan ekonomi an lè ekonomi domestik yo vin tounen yon pisin kle nan fon pou envestisman epi pral gen mwens bezwen pou peyi a ale pi lwen pase rivaj li pou prete lajan.
KISA POU RETIRE NAN ATIK SA A:
- Bartlett emphasized that the Pension Scheme “is not just a plan to provide social security, but also a strategy for the economic security of the country” adding that it will allow for the growth of the economy when the domestic savings become a key pool of funds for investment and there will be less of a need for the country to go beyond its shores to borrow money.
- The Minister said he estimates that the figure will be between “$400 billion to $500 billion as the Scheme matures,” adding that he expects more than 350,000 tourism workers to be engaged in the program.
- Bartlett said he is anticipating that adding the new pool of funds that will be created from the Scheme will be a gamechanger for the country's economy.
