JAMAICA – The Jamaican government has imposed a moratorium on official overseas travel across the public sector until March 31, 2027, restricting trips to essential activities.

The restrictions come as Jamaica faces the demands of rebuilding following Hurricane Melissa, while concerns over government spending and rising living costs add to the pressure on public finances.
