NEW YORK, USA — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says it is now "looking to finalise a few pending issues", before submitting Jamaica's request for support under the Extended Fund Facility to its executive board.
The submission is to be done as soon as possible, according to a spokesperson for the Fund who was responding to enquiries from the Jamaica Observer on how quickly the country's application will go before the board.
The IMF response did not identify the pending issues that are being finalised, though it acknowledged receipt of documentation from Jamaican authorities, "confirming that required prior action has been met".
