MINISTER of Finance and the Public Service Dr Nigel Clarke yesterday tabled three Bills in Parliament which, he said, are critical to the country’s economic recovery in light of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

However, he warned that, while the Government is actively pursuing a framework for economic recovery, much of the expected positive returns rest on ensuring the continued existence of a credible fiscal path that supports economic recovery, while retaining debt sustainability.

 

“We, therefore, have to plan not just for today, but we have to look ahead and plan across the medium term. By making adequate plans today Jamaica will make its way through this and emerge stronger. As such, today I will be tabling three Bills designed to help shape the fiscal path that will underpin an economic recovery while not compromising debt sustainability,” he told the House of Representatives.
