Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a four-year US$2 billion loan
package in 2012 which is expected to stabilize the economy. However, despite the subdued economic
conditions, the Jamaican insurance industry registered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%
