A10-point strategy to achieve the goals set out in Jamaica's national development plan, Vision 2030, has been announced by the Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce (MIIC), Anthony Hylton. The global environment has become defined by greater competitiveness and increased financial and economic instability, worsened by the "oversized public debt," Hylton said at the ministry's New Kingston headquarters yesterday.  The first strategy is economic growth with jobs, said the minister, adding that it's possible for an economy to grow without its people benefiting from employment creation. "Our future as a country will be secured only by achieving sustained economic growth with jobs, and improvements in the living standards of the majority of the population."
