Kalilah, your videos are MOST informative, especially for those of us living overseas and planning to possibly return to live in our beautiful country Jamaica 🇯🇲 . Thank YOU!
Good to hear about the effort to put money back in people’s pockets especially pensioners. Would like to hear about the spending on infrastructure; a massive effort is needed to rebuild roads throughout the island.
@@cynthiapraisethelordwright9142 Huh? I don’t understand what you are saying….Are you trying to say there is not enough tax revenue to sustain the repair and building of roads throughout the island? That would not be correct because the government gives obscene amounts of money to bad road contractors who put less than one inch of asphalt on the road, so it’s destroyed one month after they build the road. Strange how they don’t have the money to fix the road properly, but they have the money to waste on the same broken roads year after year.
I was concerned about where all the money was coming from because government tend to give with 1 hand and take nack with the other. Thank you for breaking it down.
It bothers me when I hear Black Peoples Parrot the Word Black in a negative manner, such as Blacklist, Blackmarket, Blackout. Even it is another race that is putting up the barrier, we still used the word Black, such as Blackball. I was working on a Job in New York and my supervisor gave me a bottle of Whiteout and a stack of documents and asked me to Blackout the last sentence on each of the documents, so I told her that I can’t, because she gave me Whiteout, so she fired me, which was a blessing in disguise, because I got a job paying twice what I was making on that Job.
Kalilah, the procurement bit needs to be discussed. That's worrying. I agree we need efficiency, but we also need transparency. The system of transparency hasn't been defined and the current contract award problem wasn't solved, this change is likely to make that award problem worse.
I remember politicians used to issue road works and friends turn enemies in rural communities. People used to suffer like dogs. Same time politicians borrow public funds to send their children to study at foreign universities. Give thanks for the progress. We've been suffering since the 1400s, and now we're making progress I see the astronomical levels of migration into the country. My biggest concern now is that local people who made Jamaica progress will become displaced and cannot afford anything on the island if we can't international investors like local people in Barbados. JAMAICA 🇯🇲 TAKE NOTE. Stop companies bringing workers. Stop foreigners buying s much land . Preserve local people future.
I hope there is a great aid for local farmers in the form of subsidies, because GCT is the big portion of any import cost. Without the subsidies and persons gravitating more to local produce the industry will feel it. 😢
Need more info about the securitization of receivables. Which receivables are they securitizing? If it's upcoming tax receipts, that would mean that they're borrowing from future monies, which means less $$$ to spend in future years. If they're securitizing delinquent taxes, then it means additional income that they may not have collected otherwise.
How will they continue to pay for it after funds from government receivables are depleted? Is the $25 billion per year or just to implement the changes?
Good stuff.... So a tax deduction reduce you taxable income and a tax credit reduce you tax bill but in most cases it actually cash if you don't owe any taxes. Nice move. Early Election goodies???
Who are going to benefit from that 20g ? The government pensioners are not going to benefit it’s the private sector pensioners going to benefit so all those people who is paying NIS not going to benefits

Good stuff ❤
We use to watch the with fear when the PNP was in power!
So true
Sounds good but seeing significant shortcomings in each plan, plus there is no mention of the net effect caused by inflation.
Very well spoken I clearly understand

The audio is weird on this video, its only coming out of my right speakers.
samething happen with my earpods
Hmm, thanks for letting me know. I recorded this on my phone and not in the studio as I usually do. I probably need to check the settings

2:48 Needed to be $2.7m according to CAPRI
Is there any transparency on the "recievables"?
Slight correction.... Should be "if you earn more than or equal to $1.7m... ". A person earning $1.6m would save back only $25k for the year.
very good news but is this maintainable since taxes and such are used for public upkeep?
I hope there is a great aid for local farmers in the form of subsidies, because GCT is the big portion of any import cost. Without the subsidies and persons gravitating more to local produce the industry will feel it. 😢
Good day ...hope this finds you in great health and spirits....i wanr soms advise on investment options here in jamaica...PLEASE...

Waiting for more info on this as well. We'll try to get Nigel Clarke on the show hopefully week after next after he closes the debate
How will they continue to pay for it after funds from government receivables are depleted? Is the $25 billion per year or just to implement the changes?
It would be great if Dr Clarke had reduced\abolished the 15% tax that shareholders pay on dividends received!
Whats the long-term effect from this??
Side note. Just like your credit card videos, are there any on the best pension plans for eg. Like rates, fees, best performing.
Only Rich people government doesn't care about boor life
Doesn't sound too bad.
best government jamaica ever had rebuilding infrastructure while lowering debt never before in jamaica.
So true
So they get 20 odd million while they give the people 70k. Nice one
Here how this gal a laff
Hey Kalilah, the audio is coming from just the left side

Who are going to benefit from that 20g ? The government pensioners are not going to benefit it’s the private sector pensioners going to benefit so all those people who is paying NIS not going to benefits
How's pension an incoming when its a scheme
A flat tax would have been simpler.
Flat tax on what?
