| Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | $16 million (2003) |
| Ekonomia | The Jamajkan economy is heavily dependent on services, which now account dla 70% of Produkt krajowy brutto. The country continues to derive most of its foreign exchange from tourism, remittances, and bauxite/alumina. The global economic slowdown, particularly after the terrorist attacks w the US on 11 wrzesien 2001, stunted economic growth; the economy rebounded moderately w 2003, z one of the best tourist seasons on record. But the economy faces serious long-term problems: high interest rates; increased foreign competition; a pressured, sometimes sliding, exchange rate; a sizable merchandise trade deficit; large-scale unemployment; and a growing internal debt, the result of government bailouts to ailing sectors of the economy. The ratio of debt to Produkt krajowy brutto is close to 150%. Inflation, previously a bright spot, is expected to remain w the double digits. Depressed economic conditions have led to increased civil unrest, including gang violence fueled by the drug trade. In 2004, the government faces the difficult prospect of having to achieve fiscal discipline w order to maintain debt payments while simultaneously attacking a serious and growing crime problem that is hampering economic growth. |
