This week in Jamaica
Prime Minister Andrew Holness traveled to Turks and Caicos for a resort opening this week, while the Jamaican government focused on domestic initiatives, including a pilot program to combat period poverty and the establishment of an International Recruitment Unit for health workers. A notable political discussion centered on the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA), with opposition senators accusing the government of "autocratic tendencies" and a "scorched earth policy." Meanwhile, the US dollar weakened against the Jamaican dollar, and fuel prices decreased slightly.
