“As we anticipate Dr Clarke's transition to his new role, the PSOJ emphasises the importance of a seamless handover of his ministerial responsibilities. We trust that the government will ensure continuity in fiscal stability and maintain vigilant, prudent management of the critical policies within this portfolio,” the PSOJ said.
The organisation said it looks forward to ongoing engagement with the government on matters within this portfolio.
“We are committed to building upon the gains that have been made and working collaboratively towards further success in Jamaica's economic development.”

This appointment presents a unique opportunity for improved advocacy and more tailored policy development, leading to more effective and context-sensitive IMF relations with the region, the PSOJ noted.
