Look away from USA - Academics, theologian urge Government of Jamaica to seek financial aid from other world powers

The Jamaica Gleaner A group of academics and a theologian are warning the Government to look to other strong economies for assistance, as Jamaica could see foreign aid and foreign direct investment (FDI) from the United States gradually dry up after the election of either Barack Obama or John McCain to the White House.

Speaking at a Gleaner Editors' Forum at the newspaper's North Street, central Kingston, offices yesterday, the stakeholders called for the Government to lure more investments from outside the US.
