TheGlobalEconomy com, Jamaica ranked second behind Samoa, which received a ten on the list of 177 countries compiled by research site TheGlobalEconomy com The index ranks countries based on data collected between 2007 and 2022, with zero being the lowest score and ten being the highest Jamaica's low ranking on the index is a result of the number of teachers leaving local classrooms for higher paying jobs abroad
Speaking to the in person and virtual audience attending to the Agri Investment Forum and Expo II at the Queen's Park Savannah on Friday, Mottley stressed that a reorganization of plans beyond the medium term, is imperative “It, therefore, means that our plans cannot only be medium term plans to substitute feed, which we must do, as Guyana is planning to do under the distinguished leadership of my brother, President [Dr Irfaan] Ali by 2025, with corn and soya production being ramped up to scale,” she stated “We don't have the luxury of that Because we have a population that is feeling the vagaries and the negative consequences of rampant inflation But inflation is going to also reinforce the fact that the lack of access is going to be there because of these droughts ” Given this expectation, Mottley repeated the urgency for regional farmers to grow sixand twelve week crops and suggested that they also focus on rearing six week livestock to meet the needs of the region
Trade between Guyana and China is estimated at US$950 million for the first half of this year, as government and the private sector move to engage Chinese investors in a bid to secure lucrative investment and partnerships in the future Vice Chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Zhang Shaogang, speaking at a virtual China Guyana investment opportunities seminar held on Monday night, said the trade so far this year represents a 223 percent increase in trade between the two countries In 2021, trade between Guyana and China stood at US$710 million and the CCPIT continues onA5 – China-Guyana trade

Preliminary analyses indicate light oil with a gas to oil ratio of 1600 to 2200 standard cubic feet per barrel, in a good quality reservoir The discovery at Baja 1 is from the same deposition system as the Krabdagu discovery, 11 5 kilometers to the west at Block 58
“Our success at Baja marks the 6th oil discovery we have participated in offshore Suriname, and the first on Block 53,” said John J Christmann, APA’s president and chief executive officer “This result confirms our geologic model for the Campanian in the area and helps to de risk other prospects in the southern portion of both Blocks 53 and 58 ”

The point is that Latin America and the Caribbean presented in the period prior to COVID 19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine a growth trajectory that presented several challenges in terms of productivity, equity and poverty
For the countries of Latin America, there is also a challenge that is not recent: productive diversification Because it is already recognized in all the literature that the lack of productive diversification is one of the greatest vulnerabilities of the region in the face of each disruption
By Luis Porto CMC
In 2022 from the Russian war Ukraine and in the coming months of the rises in international interest rates and the drop in the pace of activity in Europe, the United States and China The region is also inserted in different transitions that represent different challenges: the transition between long cycles of the world economy and short cycles at the global level, or the transition towards sustainable development, for exampleByimpacting households, companies and States, these shocks and transitions, these disruptions as the graph calls them, become to a greater or lesser extent a phenomenon with its own internal dynamics at the country levelThey become endogenous phenomena; for example, the lack of liquidity at the international level later becomes a lack of internal liquidity, with its own logic and dynamics, although always related to what happens abroad Remittances may be the most obvious example to explain this fact, since it directly affects the income of households in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean due to the impact of the drop in activity in the countries of origin of said remittances
In the two examples
The rupture of trajectories and/or the emergence of new trajectories will depend on: the degree of exposure to disruption; the sensitivity; the vulnerabilities; the capacities for resilience and that affect the duration of the impact and in turn affects the trajectory Considering all disruptions as temporary and acting through temporary measures is a serious mistake In this way, measures overlap in the face of each disruption that are increasingly frequent Each disruption also impacts the vulnerabilities that impact the effects that the next disruption will have The logical way to act should be to have a strategy to reduce vulnerabilities and develop capacities and institutions that foster resilience

Another of the clearest examples is the financial system, its role in ensuring the payment and credit chain of all productive sectors is important enough for most governments, in the face of each financial crisis, to have implemented almost immediately financial policies to guarantee the chain of paymentsThedegree of exposure of each agent is different, the sensitivity of each agent is different, and the vulnerabilities and capacities of each agent to face impacts are also different
There are other “wave” effects that are more difficult to trace, for example, the cuts in what is usually erroneously called the “supply chain” and which are actually supply networks, the greater the degree of intermediation3 centrality of the network nodes that are affected, the greater the amplitude of the impact
All these elements come together in the concept of resilience Resilience is understood as the capacity of an entity (country, region, sector, agent) to respond and recover from external shocks in general in particular in a given performance variable (or set of variables) In economics, the concept of macroeconomic resilience has been used to refer to the ability of a country to resume the trajectory of potential growth
Transitions, Shocks and Resiliency: Introduction
Therefore, it is important to distinguish between resilience for convergence towards the previous trajectory (lack of dynamism, problems of productivity, equity and poverty), from resilience for the creation of a new trajectory of sustainable development that allows facing these challenges
In short, in 2022 and the years to come, the region faces a new version of the need for resilient structural reforms and structural change for sustainable development
*Luis Porto, is the Senior Advisor Strategic Counsel for Organizational Development and Management for Results of the Organisation of American States (OAS)
it can be seen that it not only depends on these variables directly, but also on the “wave” effects that it may receive from the impact on other agents in its network that are sensitive to the disruptions and policies that are implemented in other regions or countries

Bahamas to repatriate Haitian Migrants who survived deadly boating incident
U S investigators say they have noticed an uptick in the amount and caliber of weapons being smuggled from Florida to Haiti in recent months
The Bahamas government says 15 Haitian migrants who survived when their vessel capsized in waters off New Providence last month will be repatriated to their homeland later this week.
A shipping officer with the United Nations' World Food Program (WFP) says aid delivery by ship to Haiti is becoming “increasingly critical ”
“As you all are aware, several persons were charged and are currently before the courts As it relates to those survivors, this week we anticipate that we're going to repatriate 130 irregular Haitian migrants and another 30 plus to Cuba, and in that number going back to Haiti will be 15 migrants who were involved in that tragedy at sea,” Immigration and Labour Minister Keith Bell told reporters Police suspect at least 45 people were traveling to Florida from New Providence on July 24 when their boat capsized in rough seas near Blackbeard's Cay At least 17 Haitians died, including a pregnant woman and two minors, while several people are believed to be still missingTheauthorities have so far identified six of the 17 people who died in the tragedy and Bell dismissed reports that the government has given families of the deceased victims a two week deadline to collect their remains “I don't know the specifics but certainly there can be no deadline We are exercising the highest degree of humanity as we possibly can, and we are continuing to work with the Haitian community and the Haitian pastors to ensure that the remains are identified, and they're given the highest degree of dignity and respect ” Regarding the burial costs, the Haitian government has already committed to covering the funeral expenses of the unidentified persons who perished at sea last month
Anthony Salisbury, chief of the Miami Homeland Security Investigations office, said agents are increasing their efforts to stop the trafficking, noting rising gang violence around Haiti's capital Salisbury said the guns seized include a 50 caliber sniper rifle that military snipers use, and other machine guns not usually seen “It's incredibly disturbing,” Salisbury told The Associated Press “In the wrong hands, these weapons are capable of causing a vast amount of destruction In July, the U N Security Council unanimously approved a resolution renewing the mandate of a U N office in Haiti and calling on all countries to stop the transfer of small arms, light weapons and ammunition that could be fueling gangHviolenceomeland Security Investigations said it continues to investigate the uptick The spike in violence comes as gangs grow in power following the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse But the gang wars have intensified in the past few weeks with gangs setting a church and a courthouse on fire, among other steps by ship to Haiti critical'

The Florida Apartment Association and the Florida Association of Realtors last week sued Orange County, Florida, in an attempt to invalidate a ballot initiative aimed at limiting how much property owners can increase rents If passed by voters in the fall, it would be the first such measure in decades in the Sunshine StateThe associations say Florida law prohibits rent control ordinances except in an emergency, and the current situation in the county that is home to Orlando doesn't rise to that standard They also say the ordinance could have the unintended consequence of making the situation worse by discouraging the construction of new apartment buildings and other housing“Itis adverse and antagonistic to the public interest and to the interests of the plaintiffs and their members to allow the Rent Control Ordinance to be placed on the ballot or enforced by Orange County where the Ordinance is unlawful and invalid,” the associations said in courtEpapersarlierthis month, Orange County's Board of County Commissioners narrowly approved the rent control ordinance, which now goes to voters for approval in November The ordinance limits rent increases in multiunit buildings to the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index The ordinance doesn't apply to luxury units, single family homes or vacation rentals
Ballots haven't even been printed yet, but already a group of property owners, apartment managers and real estate agents in Florida want to stop voters from deciding on a measure that would implement rent control for a year in the theme park hub that has been one of the fastest growing metro areas in the U S
Violators of the ordinance could face fines of up to $1,000 per day for a first violation, with fines not exceeding $15,000 per offense Property owners would be able to request an exception to the limits under certain conditions According to the measure passed by commissioners, the asking rent per unit in Orange County has grown from $1,357 in 2020 to $1,697 in 2021, the highest increase since 2006, and the county has a shortage of as many as 26,500 housing units “For years, renters have been asking this commission to do something about the upcoming emergency we are in right now,” Stephanie Porta, a cofounder of the social justice group Florida Rising, said last month during a commission meeting “Corporate landlords, real estate investors and developers are raising prices and making record profits while hardworking Orange County residents are priced out of their communities ”
