Summary:This paper discusses Jamaica's Tenth Review Under the Arrangement Under the Extended Fund Facility and Request for Modification of Performance Criteria (PCs).

The program remains on track. All PCs for end-September 2015 and structural benchmarks for the review period were met. Based on the authorities' continued strong program implementation and their forward-looking policy commitments, the IMF staff recommends completion of the tenth review.
