Meet Courtney H. Williams, Jamaica’s first Fiscal Commissioner.

Appointed by the Governor-General and serving as a non-partisan public officer, the Commissioner’s role is designed to support independent oversight and responsible management of public funds.

Independent oversight. Long-term focus. Stronger fiscal management.

Strong fiscal rules help protect the foundation of Jamaica’s economy.

They support macroeconomic stability, fiscal discipline and conditions that can contribute to lower interest rates. And the impact reaches all of us, helping build consumer confidence, business confidence and a stronger environment for businesses to invest, grow and create opportunities.

*This report analyses the Interim Fiscal Policy Paper 25/26.

​📊 Pre-Hurricane Status Report: April–Sept 2025

​How Jamaica stood before the storm.

​The GOOD NEWS👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

​Economic Growth: GDP grew by 3.3%.
​Jobs: Unemployment hit a record low of 3.3% in July 2025.

​Debt: Our debt-to-GDP ratio dropped to 60.3%. We were on track to hit our 2028 targets two years early.
​Money in the Bank: Tax revenues were higher than expected, leading to a $22.9 billion fiscal surplus.

​THE WARNING SIGNS (The Fine Print)⚠️⚠️⚠️

​The IFC pointed out that the "surplus" wasn't necessarily because we were ahead of schedule, but because we weren't spending the money we had:

​Under-spending on Infrastructure: That $22.9B surplus was largely due to capital under-execution. If we don't build roads and bridges now, we hurt tax revenue and growth later.

​Wage Risks: Unsettled public sector wage talks meant costs could spike unexpectedly.

​Revenue Reality Check: The IFC warned that tax revenues might drop in the second half of the year due to an over-calculated tax base.
