Oku kubonisa ukukhula okumangalisayo kwe-13.54% xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elifanayo kulo nyaka uphelileyo kunye nokunyuka okuphawulekayo kwe-15.68% xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elihambelanayo ngo-2019. , enikela ngokuthe ngqo kwiNgxowa-mali eManyeneyo.
Uqikelelo lonyaka-mali opheleleyo, ukusuka ku-Epreli wama-2023 ukuya kutsho kuMatshi ka-2024, luthembisa ngokulinganayo. I-TEF iqikelela ukuba yingqokelela emalunga ne-9.3 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi, nto leyo ebonisa ukonyuka olomeleleyo kwe-14.98% kulo nyaka-mali uphelileyo kunye nokunyuka okubonakalayo kwe-14.89% xa kuthelekiswa nowama-2019.
“I-TEF ikwindlela erekhodiweyo kulo nyaka-mali kwaye ngoku kujongwe ukuba izise i-9.3 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi kwingeniso yethu, eyi-1.2 yeebhiliyoni ngaphezulu kunonyaka-mali ophelileyo. Oko kumele phantse nge-15% ngaphezulu konyaka wethu ongcono, ka-2019, ”utshilo UBartlett.
Ezi ndaba zintle zihambelana nengxelo yoqoqosho yakutsha nje evela kwiZiko loCwangciso lwe Jameyikha (PIOJ), ebonakalise ukukhula okuqikelelwa kwi-1.9% kuqoqosho ngekota kaJulayi–Septemba 2023 xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elifanayo kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Ngokucacileyo, ihotele kunye nevenkile zokutyela ziye zafumana ukukhula okuphawulekayo okongeziweyo kwexabiso lokwenyani ngeepesenti ezisibhozo kwikota.
Ishishini lezokhenketho, elinegalelo elibalulekileyo kolu hlumo loqoqosho, lisaqhubeka likhula ngokwanda kwabemi bamazwe angaphandle abafikayo. Kwikota ekhankanyiweyo, abatyeleli abafikayo bemise nge-5.5% ukuya kuma-682,586 abatyeleli. Ngelixa abakhweli abahamba ngenqanawa bafumene ukwehla okungephi kwe-20.5%, kuqikelelwa ukuba bangama-178,412 abatyeleli xa kuthelekiswa nekota ehambelana nayo ngo-2022.

Lo mkhwa uncomekayo awukho nje ngokubhekiselele kwigalelo elithe ngqo kwi-GDP njengoko kubonisiwe kwiingxelo zePIOJ kodwa nakwingeniso ethe ngqo engena kwingxowa-mali edityanisiweyo,” utshilo uBartlett.
Njengoko iJamaica izibeka njengendawo yokhenketho lwehlabathi, ezi mpumelelo zemali zigxininisa ukuzithemba nenkxaso efunyanwa yi-TEF kubatyeleli nabachaphazelekayo kushishino.
UGqr. Carey Wallace, uMlawuli weSigqeba seNgxowa-mali yoPhuculo loKhenketho, uvakalise uchulumanco malunga nendlela entle. “Ukukhula okuqhubekayo kwiingqokelela zethu kububungqina bokuqina kunye nesibongozo saseJamaica njengendawo ephambili yabakhenkethi. Inkxaso-mali efunyenweyo iya kuba negalelo elikhulu kuphuhliso oluqhubekayo nophuculo lwecandelo lethu lezokhenketho kunye neJamaica ngokubanzi.”
