Friday, March 13, 2015
GOVERNMENTS across the region have expressed an interest in getting guidance from Jamaica in setting up bodies similar to the Economic Programme Oversight Committee (EPOC) to monitor economic reform measures in their own countries.
Financial Secretary in the Ministry of Finance and Planning, Devon Rowe, made the disclosure during an address at the weekly St Andrew Rotary Club luncheon held Tuesday at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The EPOC, which is the only such body of its kind globally, comprises 11 representatives of the private and public sectors, civil society and trade unions.
