The IDB Group Country Strategy (CS) 2022-2026 with Jamaica is designed to support the Government’s goals of achieving faster, inclusive growth and sustainable debt reduction. This strategy focuses on facilitating a post-pandemic recovery that is socially inclusive, environmentally sustainable, and driven by private sector engagement.
