Jamaica's Orthodox Economic Policies To Outlast IMF Agreement

• Fitch expects economic policy continuity in Jamaica over the coming years, as a broad political consensus supports the IMF-backed reforms implemented under Prime Minister Andrew Holness.

 

• Orthodox economic policies, including central bank reform, will support the business environment, underpinning our constructive long-term economic outlook.

 

• However, security concerns will continue to threaten social stability and we note that public demands for services may limit the scope of further fiscal consolidation.
