The Jamaica Library Service is the national public library network, with branches in every parish. Services include free reading, study space, computer access, and children's reading programmes — a foundational institution of Jamaican public education. Jamaican-listed commercial entities are subject to oversight by the relevant regulator — the Bank of Jamaica for deposit-taking institutions, the Financial Services Commission for insurers, investment managers, and pensions, and the Office of Utilities Regulation for utilities.
