The JMA in a statement Friday said it is “appeased that Jamaica’s fiscal performance exceeded projections and urged Government to continue on the path to ensuring that the pillars of the IMF agreement are met”.However, the Association said that while the Government had achieved this mark, it is calling for the implementation of policies that will stimulate investment, create well-needed employment and put Jamaica on a path for growth, as this was the real measure of success.Like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/jamaicaobserverFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/JamaicaObserver
