T&T ranked for enabling female entrepreneurs • WASHINGTON DC—Jamaica and T&T are the only Caribbean Community (Caricom) states ranked among 20 Latin America and Caribbean countries that provide the best environments for female entrepreneurs. The Women’s Entrepreneurial VentureScope (WEVentureScope) index was released by the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank Group, and developed by the Economist Intelligence Unit. In its debut edition, the WEVentureScope analyses the factors that promote or hinder the success of women-owned micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). It is the first comprehensive and standardised assessment of the region’s enabling environment for women seeking to start and grow businesses. According to the survey, Jamaica is ranked 12 while T&T is placed at number 18. The survey found that Chile, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay provide the best environments for female entrepreneurs in Latin America and the Caribbean. (CMC) [TG pg20]
