MSME

Jamaica's Ministry of Industry, Investment and Commerce has launched a J$500 million MSME Grant Restoration Programme, with applications now open to micro, small and medium enterprises. The programme aims to restore grant support for small businesses, and attention is focused on eligibility details and how firms can apply through the ministry.

Mexico's development bank Nafin will provide financing to help micro, small and medium-sized enterprises purchase electric vehicles. The move aims to lower the cost barrier for smaller businesses looking to switch to electric fleets, supporting cleaner transport and Mexico's broader emissions goals. Details on loan terms and rollout have not yet been released.
