Anabel Gonzalez, senior director of the World Bank Group’s Global Practice on Trade and Competitiveness, has outlined a path for Jamaica to successfully grow its economy, on the back of improved macroeconomic indicators resulting from strategic implementation of policies that have been developed.
Jamaica jumped 36 places to 58 among 189 economies worldwide in the World Bank’s Doing Business report, and advanced eight places in the Global Competitiveness Index to be ranked 86 of 144 countries. It moved up one place on the Heritage Foundation’s 2015 Index of Economic Freedom, reflecting gains in five of 10 freedoms, including corruption.
