The Government says economic sacrifices endured by Jamaicans in recent months are beginning to yield positive results.
The comment from the Minister of Finance and Planning, Dr Peter Phillips, comes against the background of confirmation from the Bank of Jamaica that the economy has continued in a recession after recording a fifth consecutive quarter of negative growth at the end of June.
The Statistical Institute of Jamaica has also published data showing the unemployment rate up to April, rising by almost two per cent over the last year to 16.3 per cent.
However, speaking at a business function yesterday, Phillips said attention should be paid to what he calls hopeful signs on the economic horizon.

I am staggered... dat one mash mi dung...
