Why Jamaica Can Regain Its Place As the Powerhouse of the Ca

[Sir X]

In 2015 the Jamaican economy started to see the benefits of the economic reform programme (ERP) and ended the year in a very strong position, with third-quarter growth of 1.5 per cent, the fastest-growing stock market in the world, multi-year lows in both interest and inflation rates, and improved business and consumer confidence.

All of this resulted from the perseverance of policies to maintain fiscal discipline and create the legislative framework that would bring greater competitiveness to the market. As a result Jamaica saw our debt to GDP ratio fall to 126 per cent (from 150 per cent in 2012), improving fiscal balances, and the first balance of payments surplus in 10 years, which by itself is a game changer and a significant achievement.

Absolutely....especially when people propagate unrelentingly negative views like this. Negative attitudinal issues are a HUGE part of our development problem

It's called a self-fulfilling prophecy...Or an Xcuse to merely yap but do nothing of significance to address development challenges
