Region depends on Obama’s economy fix

KINGSTON, Jamaica - HEAD OF the Economics Division at the University of Technology (UTech), Sharon Nelson, says United States President Barack Obama's feverish push for positive economic growth in his second term in office could provide a glimmer of hope for Caribbean economies.
Nelson reasoned that as president of the world's largest economy, Obama's policies are designed to improve the lives of United States (US) citizens.
"Nevertheless, there should be a glimmer of hope as it relates to US foreign policy, because Jamaica and the Caribbean are in close proximity," she said.
