GDP growth slowed to 1 percent in 2015 owing to falling oil production and reduced output in the primary commodity sectors, and turned to negative 1.5 percent in the first half of 2016 relative to the same period in 2015. The decline in oil and other commodity prices led to deflation in 2015. GDP is projected to decline by 1.5 percent in 2016. The current account deficit would slowly improve owing to a gradual recovery in major commodity exports, but would remain high, indicating a weak external position. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2016/334 606 $aInternational Monetary Fund 606 $aInternational Monetary Fund$zJamaica 606 $aEconomic development$zJamaica 606 $aFiscal policy$zJamaica 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aIndustries: Financial Services$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aInternational Lending and Debt Problems$2imf 606 $aPublic Enterprises$2imf 606 $aPublic-Private Enterprises$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aCivil service & public sector$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aFiscal stance$2imf 606 $aLoans$2imf 606 $aPublic sector$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aRevenue administration$2imf 606 $aEconomic sectors$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aFinance, Public$2imf 606 $aRevenue$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 607 $aBelize$2imf 615 0$aInternational Monetary Fund. 615 0$aInternational Monetary Fund 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aIndustries: Financial Services 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aInternational Lending and Debt Problems 615 7$aPublic Enterprises 615 7$aPublic-Private Enterprises 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aCivil service & public sector 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aFiscal stance 615 7$aLoans 615 7$aPublic sector 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aRevenue administration 615 7$aEconomic sectors 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aFinance, Public 615 7$aRevenue 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 676 $a332.152 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151745703321 996 $aBelize$91187294 997 $aUNINA
