Jamaica’s economy grew by 1.4 per cent during this year’s April to June quarter, when compared to the same period in 2024.

Director General of the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ) Dr. Wayne Henry gave the preliminary estimate, during a quarterly press briefing this morning.

Dr. Henry reported that the outturn for the review quarter, largely reflected continued growth in most industries.

He also noted that the 1.4 per cent growth in the economy is attributed to an increased domestic demand for goods and services, as well as a boost in consumer and business confidence levels, among other factors.
