KINGSTON, Jamaica (JIS) -- Financial analyst Ralston Hyman says Jamaica is well on track to achieving a balanced budget this year.

This, he says, is based on several positive outcomes and developments resulting from the Government’s implementation of measures under the four-year Extended Fund Facility (EFF), negotiated with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as well as the country’s Economic Reform Programme (ERP), endorsed by the IMF.

Gwan IMF! Thanks for bringing some fiscal discipline to an indisciplined nation.

I hope there is an anti Run-wid-it clause somewhere in the program.

tight squeeze, loan rate going up, dollar and bad loans. Hopefully things will eventually get better but it ain't pretty.

That was inevitable under any scenario... just examine what Greece and Spain etc are going through with their restructuring...chaos

The fact that Jamaica has accepted austerity with maturity and without mass protest is both remarkable and encouraging for the future

Kudos to Baby Bruce for eschewing the damaging street protests favored by One Liad and the DayWalker
