Jamaica: Restructuring a Nation

For decades, Jamaica struggled with low growth, high public debt and external shocks that further weakened the economy.

The reform program is beginning to bear fruit. Bill Brandt Jr., through a Q&A format, explores the challenges faced in restructuring Jamaica, including how Jamaica approached the issues with which they were faced, and how it dealt with the IMF and the IAB.
