KINGSTON, Jamaica – A development that could affect the economics of some of Jamaica's more prosperous Caribbean neighbours and, perhaps, the pocketbooks of some of our better-heeled citizens, passed largely unnoticed here last week.

Of the group, two, the Cayman Islands, and the Turks and Caicos Islands, are Jamaica's near neighbours in the northern Caribbean.
