Politics aside, this man is quite knowledgeable, aware and forward-thinking. These are the kinds of people Jamaica needed in government from the onset.
All Wah gwaan The FIX is the Best podcast platform in Jamaica period! Undefeated! Excellent interview! You did your research, asked the questions we wanted to know and allowed the guest to explain complicated matters. Way to go guys!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Dr. Nigel Clarke is a "savant" in the lineage of fiscal (monetary) theorists with market-oriented anchorage in micro-, meso-, and macroeconomic formulations. He is the best expositor of the economic dynamics of Jamaica. His emphatic focus on optimizing provisions of human capital is a virtue worth maintaining.
Very Good Interview guys and gals bring him back I am 55 I know by living what Dr Clarke is talking about most don't know the history 50yrs to recover Jamaica can't do that again
Buoy Thank you Dr Clarke for this class and thks to you "THE FIX" for this interview its a breath of fresh Air .. A don't know why i would replace him...he is the best
I sit and look at these comments and this show a serious issue of tribal politics in which has robbed Jamaica of growth for a lot of years.

Seaga is best finance Minister jamaica ever had he is the only finance Minister to stable the US dollar between $450 $500 9 yrs wen he was prime Minister
I resides in the USA I could not miss this guy budget presentation for a million dollars he is so comedic particularly when he is responding to the opposition…. ( Red Card Madam Speaker) Generally he gives a clear understanding of his intended financial expenditures ..Next in line to be PM. Bravo Dr. N C.
More of these interviews are needed to educate the average man on what really goes into governing and finance. I would also feel better knowing he would get someone knowledgable about that department challenging his policies and present a counter argument as to what could or could not be done going forward
Great Interview I said this if the country grow people's lives will be better. Nigel is doing a great job by dealing with large problems and paying down our loans. Now this is very good because our dept were up to our necks and that's very good Long time I said money is here but wasn't been manage properly.
EXCELLENT. I'VE LEARNT SUCH A LOT. DR. NIGEL CLARKE IS THE BEST. HE IS DOING A GREAT JOB. I PRAY JAMAICANS WISE UP AND KEEP HIM AND HIS PARTY IN POWER FOR A LONG TIME SO THE COUNTRY CAN CONTINUE TO GROW AND IMPROVE
@TheFix, thanks for giving us this interview...it was a good discussion. Good to hear the other side of the Minister. I know most of what is being is just going to fly over alot of persons head because they can't see beyond party colour as well as the discussion is not the usual rae rae toxic and mixup bullshit that everyone is doing now...let's see more of this..healthy informative discussion
When him talk bout the contingency fund and that hurricane that almost hit me get goosebumps an me not even live a Jamaica, imagine if that hurricane had hit while negotiations with world banks went south and they didn't put away that 4 billion before covid hit, jah Jah.
This is the type of discussion we need to be having to better educate the masses...the only thing Dr Clarke needs to work on is making it more understandable to the regular man...the examples he gave were good
He grew an economy that had negative growth for decades…no new taxes, lowest unemployment rate in Jamaica’s history, highest credit rating… only a biased mind can’t agree with data/statistics
its just big talk. Sorry, but it takes more than just talk to do the job. Think, 8 years now and all this talk has gotten us just more talk, a wholeleap a dead people, more talk again and nothing else.
Why haven’t the JLP government negotiated a special wage package for tourism workers. No way on earth tourism workers should be paid Jamaican minimum wage or the Jamaican rate because these hotels are transacting business in US dollars. There is no difference between the Hyatt and Riu in Jamaica from the Hyatt and Riu in America in terms of revenue because everything is done in US dollars and their customers are 99% foreigners and not local. So why should a Jamaican tourist worker be subjected to Jamaican minimum wage or Jamaican pay scale? That makes no sense.
How does citizens get a response from a ministry , is the security guards run the government offices , anyone has information please share with the nation
SO IF THEY’RE AS TRANSPARENT AS THEY CLAIM WHY THE GOVERNMENT HAS A GAG ORDER ON THE INTEGRITY COMMISSION???🤔🧐 NARO AND ARI AREN’T ASKING THE UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS. NO DISRESPECT TO YOU GUYS YALL ARE DOING GREAT BUT THIS IS WHY ANTHONY MILLER IS THE GOAT.

@@krislegends The GG is just a figurative representative of the King....everything he does is ceremonial. He has no executive power, same way the KIng...check the levels man.
Minimum wage has doubled in US dollars, yes, but it took 8 years according to what you said. That is unacceptable. People can't live off 15 grand a week in 2024 Mr Clarke.
1. So this 200 billion how much percent interest will be paid on this. 2. Is it better to borrow 200 Billion or implement new taxes to support the trillion dollar budget which tax payers will be paying back any ways??? I wish you guys had asked these questions. Good interview none the less.🎉
I think the 200 Billion will be used to pay off maturing debt. Hopefully the net movement will be a decrease in debt (or immaterial if there is an increase).
Fed up with what? What needs to happen is that we need a viable opposition to pressure the government . And fed up of what Julian Robinson can do the work this man is doing ? And answer honestly and non political and the answer is no . My point pnp not a viable replacement

According to finance Minister Dr Nigel Clark.. "Wholesale & retail Is the largest sector of local economy" yet still tourism continues to get most of the funding and attention
@@Rhicoinc blindly chasing foreign exchange is not good policy. An economy is way more dynamic than that. A better policy would be to manage inflation and try to reduce exchange rate fluctuation. But giving a subsector of your economy all your attention is just like skipping Leg day yea you have big biceps but u still weak. And with all of this investment tourism getting it's hardly making a difference. See di finance minister seh it MOST PEOPlE WORK WHOLESALE & RETAIL. So if we want to see job growth and income growth we need to invest more in what's working despite the government neglect.. let's prop up wholesale and retail. Instead of giving incentives for hotel back a hotel give incentive for shopping malls with bathroom facilities and tek d damn vendors off the damn street and demolish crab circle for example.. We a give all sorts of incentives and investment Fi build hotel and most a we retail a take place inah wooden shacks and pon d fucking roadside. The economy and this fleeting prosperity we chasing can't be achieved by hyper focusing on a subsector of the economy that hardly employe anyone just because we can maybe earn foreign currency
@@Rhicoinc all taxes goes straight to consolidated fund and it doesn't matter where the funds come from. Taxes should benefit the citizenry. these tourists come to our island and use our beaches and our waterfalls. So therefore we the citizenry as a whole should benefit from allowing them that privilege. Secondly we are investing in the tourism product that hardly employs anyone because we maybe can get foreign exchange (which we not doing such a hot job making a dent in the tourism numbers anyways) meanwhile the industry that actually driving the jobs is conducted from wooden shacks, dirty run down disease infested markets without bathroom facilitties so much so that vedors get recorded doing number 2 same place where them sell food/crab. Meanwhile we giving tax incentives and funding fi anything wah sound like tourism and Fi build hotel rooms. We should be giving funding and tax incentives & financing to build shopping malls with bathroom facilities (mandatory) and cooperative self managed markets again with (mandatory bathroom facilities). So those in our biggest industry according to the finance minister can ply their trade in dignity and those who are their customers can buy from them without having to jump over dirty water
No doubt Nigel Clarke is a brilliant man but his is slippery. 😅When he was asked about to raises for the politicians compared to public sector works he switched to dollar amounts instead of percentage (%). But overall he is very brilliant and well meaning. Decent man!
@morrisw78 instead of trying to diss his budget, provide the planned budget for the PNP. You guys waste so much time complaining and yet can't show the nation an alternative plan. Dr. Clarke is arguably the most educated finance minster Jamaica has ever had. The opposition has no one with this level of education & competency to run the finances of a nation.
@@hhfree6954The first dissing of his budget was by whoever convened the House in an effort at damage control for this unprecedented disaster. We now see the reason for the continuous calls for the Opposition to reveal their budget proposals. To hold Nigel’s hand in preparing a workable Budget that would not have to be amended/revised in just two weeks? There is no disagreement that Nigel is a bright scholar but proving daily to be only maybe in Mathematics. We even seen him awarding a well deserved Red Card to himself just recently. ( and automatically missing the next House Sitting)
If you listen to this man explain what the government is doing so we don't go back to the eun with style of government with massive debts an no reserve funds with people losing their homes an business (FINSAC), growing the economic so that the Jamaican people can earn a reasonable salary then you Dunce bad an you should stay in school.
Funny enough when he was speaking about the perceived disrespect to the speaker of the house he broke his point down to the atomic level where even the illiterate could understand but the explanation of the ministers salary increase did not get the same treatment???
I think was a good interview but not a great one more question needed to be ask, tough question particular as it relates to relationship with Venezuela because jamaica needs oil at good price to drive economic growth and production and what is strategy to male jamaica a robust economy long term and i could go on still repect the transparency and diplomacy to go on these platforms
I haven't done watching the interview. However, what I would love Nigel is...Knowing what i know now that he knows the history of the Jamaican economy why didnt gave the government that huge increase over a 2 year period so that it doesnt affect the inflation And why take the step to lower the jutc bus fare when it cause the same result for the inflation
Stop talk like public sector workers are better off because them still a suffer. That's why they are leaving the country rapidly and are involved heavily in corruption.
It's not Sir P and Vegas it's Vegas and Ve🎉gas. Vegas was secretly trying to join Sir P and for Sir P's own safety he rejected his application. Vegas has been on a quest since to discredit Sir P's movement.

Great interview Fix love this podcast but for crying out loud can Ari just mek Naro finish his darn questions and mek interview flow 😩
🎉🎉dutty naasy liad 😢😢😢
Funny enough when he was speaking about the perceived disrespect to the speaker of the house he broke his point down to the atomic level where even the illiterate could understand but the explanation of the ministers salary increase did not get the same treatment???
I think was a good interview but not a great one more question needed to be ask, tough question particular as it relates to relationship with Venezuela because jamaica needs oil at good price to drive economic growth and production and what is strategy to male jamaica a robust economy long term and i could go on still repect the transparency and diplomacy to go on these platforms
So why it took a close local election For it to change to 100 USD ? People a shop online decades now
The increase was announced long before local government election but it was effective April 1.
Cause that's when the budget was read. Mek unu fool fool suh?
Go listen to the interview again!!
I want to ask how 22k go stop the scamming how we help the youths build leadership?
What you mean we who
I haven't done watching the interview. However, what I would love Nigel is...Knowing what i know now that he knows the history of the Jamaican economy why didnt gave the government that huge increase over a 2 year period so that it doesnt affect the inflation
And why take the step to lower the jutc bus fare when it cause the same result for the inflation
Come down now
If Ari and Naro knew how to speak better in economic terms then Nigel wouldn't be talking so much.
Most of what he said would be debunked.
Another politician 😂 Time for the Fix(Ari) to shine shoes
THAT LAST COMMENT BY THE INTERVIEWER WAS A LIW BLOW. I THINK DR CLARKE IS LOOKING GOOD. HE HASN'T AGED MUCH.
Stop talk like public sector workers are better off because them still a suffer. That's why they are leaving the country rapidly and are involved heavily in corruption.
It's not Sir P and Vegas it's Vegas and Ve🎉gas. Vegas was secretly trying to join Sir P and for Sir P's own safety he rejected his application. Vegas has been on a quest since to discredit Sir P's movement.
What is he doing here? Doesn’t he remember that he has given himself a RED CARD in Financial Management? FSC/SSL - Yellow Card. AG Report- Second Yellow Card = RED CARD. Off to Bench‼️
