JAMAICA: Edging forward, but still high risk
Back in September 2013, Jamaica was given a boost when Standard & Poor’s raised its assessment of the country’s local currency debt to B- from CCC+. S&P said it expected the government to meet its fiscal targets this year, push ahead with its tax reforms, and avoid a further deterioration in its foreign-currency reserves. The IMF added its own cautious assessment in December following the second review of Jamaica’s performance under the terms of the May 2013 program.
