PetroCaribe Economic Zone established
May 07, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica - The group, Jamaicans United for Sustainable Development, is calling for the newly established International Monetary Fund Oversight Committee to ensure that the country takes immediate advantage of the new economic zone for investment, trade and development.
The economic zone was among measures agreed on by PetroCaribe member states during the summit in Venezuela over the weekend.
Convenor of the civic group, Richard Dickie Crawford believes Jamaica's involvement in the economic zone could help to address the country's energy problems as well and foster financial stability in the region.
