To help restore competitiveness and improve financial market conditions, the authorities have come up with a comprehensive four-year economic program?2013/14 through 2016/17?that aims to avert immediate crisis risks and create the necessary conditions for sustained growth. The program?s main pillars include structural reforms, fiscal adjustments supported by extensive fiscal reforms, and improved social protection programs. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2013/126 606 $aMonetary policy$zJamaica 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aFinancial Risk Management$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aPublic Enterprises$2imf 606 $aPublic-Private Enterprises$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aCivil service & public sector$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aEducation$2imf 606 $aSales tax, tariffs & customs duties$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aRevenue administration$2imf 606 $aPublic sector$2imf 606 $aFiscal consolidation$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aEconomic sectors$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aFinance, Public$2imf 606 $aRevenue$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 607 $aJamaica$xEconomic conditions 607 $aJamaica$2imf 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aFinancial Risk Management 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aPublic Enterprises 615 7$aPublic-Private Enterprises 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aCivil service & public sector 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aEducation 615 7$aSales tax, tariffs & customs duties 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aRevenue administration 615 7$aPublic sector 615 7$aFiscal consolidation 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aEconomic sectors 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aFinance, Public 615 7$aRevenue 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 676 $a332 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813683303321 996 $aJamaica$92610030 997 $aUNINA
