Jamaica; Request for an Arrangement Under the Extended Fund Facility

During the past three decades, Jamaica has shown low economic growth and high public debt, and has faced other social challenges. To help restore competitiveness and improve financial market conditions, the authorities have come up with a comprehensive four-year economic programâ€”2013/14 through 2016/17â€”that aims to avert immediate crisis risks and create the necessary conditions for sustained growth. The programâ€™s main pillars include structural reforms, fiscal adjustments supported by extensive fiscal reforms, and improved social protection programs.
