The money is not expected to be available to Jamaica thereafter as a result of the country’s classification — according to the World Bank’s indices — as a upper middle-income country. However, Spencer said yesterday that efforts are underway to make representations with a view to having the classification amended to reflect the reality of the country’s status.
