IMF policies could strangle Jamaica's future - report - Business - Jamaica Gleaner - Thursday | May 10, 2012: "A new report released by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) is warning Jamaica that its fragile economic recovery will be dangerously hampered by demands by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other donors.

"Pro-cyclical macroeconomic policies, implemented under the auspices of the IMF, damaged Jamaica's recent and current economic prospects," the report notes. It added that "this policy mix risks perpetuating an unsustainable cycle where public spending cuts lead to low growth, exacerbating the public debt burden and eventually leading to further cuts and even lower growth"."
