Prime Minister Andrew Holness has declared that his administration is prepared to respond to external shocks while delivering the needs of the people in 2025.
 
Bidding farewell to the year that was, his New Year's Day message, the Prime Minister acknowledged that the country's resilience was tested through Category 4 Hurricane Beryl.
 
He said his government has had to deal with some of the greatest crises and shocks to have affected the country in the last 100 years, all of which he claimed were comparatively managed better than previous administrations did when faced with their own crises. 
 
Touting the 18 percent drop in murders, the 14 percent decline in serious crimes and the record low unemployment level of 3.6 percent among other achievements in 2024, Prime Minister Holness also highlighted major investments in the agriculture sector and healthcare.
 
Dr Holness said Disaster Risk Management Review and the commencement of the National ID System (NIDS) are also on the horizon.
 
He said economic growth, reducing debt, keeping the exchange rate stable by having strong reserves, and managing the fiscal affairs of the country to avoid profligate spending are among the top priorities.
