“Jamaica went through a period of time when from an economic perspective we underperformed… but having gone to the point of crisis, the society by consensus decided that we have to take a different approach to project Jamaica,” said the prime minister.
He explained that the country is now moving towards an agreement on what needs to be done to improve the Jamaican economy, and said this included an efficient regulatory environment, a more supportive public sector, addressing crime and making the country more attractive to investors to not only invest money, but to live and become a part of the fabric of Jamaican society.
