WASHINGTON, DC, USA — The World Bank has commended the Jamaican Government on recent economic initiatives, including the National Debt Exchange (NDX), to secure the recent staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). “I have been listening keenly to the development in Jamaica over the last couple of days and I think what has transpired is a move in the right direction. This will help to improve the economy of Jamaica and the World Bank stands ready to assist in whatever way we can,” executive director of the World Bank Marie Lucie Morin said. Morin's comments came during a meeting with Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce Anthony Hylton and a delegation at the World Bank headquarters in Washington, DC yesterday.
