The Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN) has reported that the economy is almost back to its pre-COVID level.

At its quarterly media briefing on Friday, STATIN reported economic growth of 5.9 per cent for the September quarter compared with the same quarter in the previous year.

This means economic output, in real terms, has now surpassed the March 2020 level and is 99.9 per cent of the pre-COVID level of December 2019.

During the quarter from July to September, the services industries grew by 6 per cent, while goods-producing industries grew by 5.6 per cent
