| Summary: | Jamaica has been stuck in a cycle of low growth and high debt dynamics. It has been severely impacted by the global economic slowdown, and finances have deteriorated. Jamaica's objective of virtually eliminating the overall public sector deficit is appropriate.

The proposed program carries risks but these risks are manageable. |
