Benjamin Roseth, Modernization of State Specialist at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), believes that the success of the National Identification System (NIDS) card lies in the hands of Jamaicans. Roseth said that if the NIDS ID is not useful for Jamaicans, it won’t be a success. He expressed concern about the difficulties average Jamaicans face to open a bank account and questioned the growth the country’s sectors would have were it not so difficult for some citizens to open one. The government is about 97 per cent complete towards the setting up of the card production centre.
