dc.description.tableofcontents2. Jamaica’s Minister of Finance, Hugh Small has resigned over disagreement on how the Jamaican dollar should be handled. An official statement from Prime Minister, P.J. Patterson says that Mr. Small resigned because he does not see himself the ideal person to conduct a review of the government’s social and economic programs. However, Mr. Small released the contents of the letter he sent to Prime Minister, P.J. Patterson in which he complained of an inordinate delay on the part of Cabinet to approve critical portions of his recently presented budget. He also alluded to a feeling of general lack of confidence that is displayed towards him and his handling of the foreign exchange market. There is also speculation that Mr. Small is stepping out of politics to make way for a by-election to fill his seat.
