The In­ter­na­tion­al Mon­e­tary Fund (IMF) has praised Ja­maica for its strong eco­nom­ic man­age­ment and re­silience fol­low­ing its 2025 Ar­ti­cle IV Con­sul­ta­tion, but is warn­ing of glob­al and cli­mate risks.

An IMF team, led by Mauri­cio Vil­la­fuerte, says Ja­maica has sharply re­duced its pub­lic debt, an­chored in­fla­tion and strength­ened its ex­ter­nal po­si­tion over the past decade.

De­spite a dip in the Gross Do­mes­tic Prod­uct (GDP) caused by Hur­ri­cane Beryl and Trop­i­cal Storm Rafael, the IMF says the econ­o­my is on track to re­cov­er.
