Prime Minister the Hon. Bruce Golding says the economic measures that the Government has put in place are now bearing fruit, and are set to put the country on a sound economic path.
Delivering a lecture at the Brookings Institute in Washington, D.C., yesterday, the Prime Minister pointed out that while the country is experiencing economic growth in certain areas, more needs to be done in order to reap even greater economic success.
Mr. Golding told the more than 200 participants, that some of the measures put in place to help realise the economic success, included the introduction of the Jamaica Debt Exchange (JDX), measures to reduce crime, divesting Air Jamaica and the island’s sugar factories, along with the development of stringent economic programmes, with support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
