INTERNATIONAL Monetary Fund (IMF) resident representative in Jamaica Dr Bert Van Selm on Tuesday downplayed a view that the island should adopt the developed world approach of pumping money to stimulate the economy.
“We are in a different situation here in Jamaica than in the advanced economies,” stated Van Selm in response to a query following his presentation at the seminar ‘Unlocking Investment Opportunities in Jamaica’ put on by financial conglomerate Sagicor Group at the Jamaica Conference Centre in Kingston.
