Summary:This book explores the IMF: Jamaica, relationship since 2010, examining Jamaica's high debt and inability to access financial support amidst international capital market restrictions, contextualizing harsh socio-economic realities. With Jamaica's second return to the IMF, actor networks of governance amidst political and socio-economic efforts to re-engender a relationship are foregrounded, with a new IMF. Credibility is demonstrated and restored, furthering the success of the 2013 Extended Fund Facility and exit to a Precautionary Stand-By Arrangement in 2016. Clarke and Nelson reveal lessons learned, discussing Jamaica's economic prognosis and the IMF relationship under the shadow of the COVID pandemic.
