Jamaican budget offers stability, but risks persist
Keyword(s):
Subject Jamaica's economic outlook. Significance The government has worked hard to stabilise the economy after several years of uncertainty. Its policies for the next fiscal year, presented by the finance minister on March 12, set out plans to maintain stability and lay the groundwork for re-invigorating growth. Impacts Sluggish growth will only be boosted by improved productivity and a better investment climate. The debt-to-GDP ratio is unlikely to fall to 100% -- until at least 2020. Continued public sector wage freezes risk undermining support for the economic programme.
