Hotels, mining and quarrying contribute lion’s share to growth in June quarter
The Jamaican economy expanded by one per cent in the quarter to June this year, driven mainly by a 5.6 per cent increase in the hotels and restaurants sector, and a 4.5 per cent increase in mining and quarrying.
The outturn for the quarter largely reflected increased capacity utilisation at some industrial plants such as the Petrojam refinery and increased external demand, which drove output in some export industries such as hotels and restaurants, according to Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ) Director General, Dr Wayne Henry.
