The People’s National Party is criticising the Jamaican government’s management of its programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after the government announced yesterday that the review of the programme has been delayed.
The review was scheduled for June.
The Opposition is calling for Finance Minister Audley Shaw to make say when the review will be done.
The Opposition spokesman on finance Dr. Peter Phillips says the Government should also give a clear statement of the status of Jamaica’s current relationship with the IMF.
Dr. Phillips also wants Mr. Shaw to outline the consequences for the Budget and the cost to Jamaicans of the failure to meet certain IMF obligations.
