Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are being encouraged to adopt the Ministry of Industry and Commerce's Business Continuity Plan aimed at mitigating against risks and failures.
Portfolio Minister, Audley Shaw, said he is concerned about how prepared businesses are to utilise the digital mode of operation.
Mr. Shaw said with COVID-19 putting a wrench in the operation of many local businesses, more resources need to be devoted to a technology infused continuity plan that would allow for their continued profitability and longevity.
He was delivering remarks on Wednesday at a webinar hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce of Jamaica, at the Ministry's St. Lucia Avenue offices.
