According to Minister of Finance Winston Jordan, in light of regional economic developments, the 2017 Mid-year growth of 2.2% should be regarded positively.
“You may hear talk of anaemic growth or other negative comments but when our neighbours can’t even manage a 0% much less positive growth, 2.2% is not to be scoffed at,” Jordan told a press conference yesterday.
The Minister noted that while the increase might be marginal it is not a decline which means that there is still spending.
