Multilateral institutions, including the IMF, World Bank and IDB, have played a particularly problematic role, supporting contractionary policies intended to maximize the primary surplus and prioritize the service of debt. This amounts to a consistent transfer of output from taxpayers to domestic and foreign creditors, and a serious impediment to the formulation and implementation of
a development agenda. It is difficult to envision Jamaica overcoming its current situation of low growth and high debt without concerted multilateral debt relief or a far more ambitious debt restructuring.

<This paper has argued that Jamaica’s economic performance and development prospects have been seriously damaged by an unsustainable debt burden. The Jamaican economy has stagnated for decades. As noted previously, during the 15 years prior to the 2008-2010 recession, Jamaica’s real GDP growth averaged just 1.1 percent annually and real per capita growth performed even worse—0.4 percent per year>
