Exporters escape incentive cuts, for now

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Observer -THE Jamaica Exporters' Association (JEA) is breathing a sign of relief in the face of planned fiscal cuts by the Government.
The association said it has been assured that statutory incentives to its members will remain intact though the Government continues to grapple with fiscal consolidation.

"The obligations that the Government has already put in place will not be broken, however, discretionary incentives will come under greater scrutiny in an effort to ensure transparency," the association reported.
