On June 18 at 7:00pm (EDT), the 2024 William G. Demas Lecture will be delivered by Mr. Paul Barnaby “PB” Scott, a Jamaican entrepreneur and CEO, Chair and Principal Shareholder of the Musson Group, a leader across the Caribbean in food, pharmaceuticals, information technology, and insurance.

The title of this year's lecture is Economic Therapy for a Frustrated Regionalist. Mr. Scott will address the conditions that are needed for the private sector to reach its potential in driving development in the Caribbean, drawing from the experiences of the Musson Group of Companies under his management. He will compare the regional business ecosystems with a range of other countries in which the company operates, to demonstrate where additional focus needs to be in key policy areas, including the labour market.
