1 | Jamaica: Debt Storm Coming? | Jamaika: Ho Avy Ny Tafiotran-Trosa? |
2 | The Jamaican blogosphere has been a bit prickly ever since the Chicago Tribune, in an editorial on January 8, 2013, compared Jamaica's financial condition to that of Greece, considered by some to be the most precariously perched country in the global economy. | Somary nanindrona ihany ny tontolon'ny bilaogy Jamaikana, hatramin'ny namoahan'ny Chicago Tribune lahatsoratra iray tamin'ny 08 Janoary 2013 izay mampitaha ny toe-bolan'i Jamaika sy Gresy, firenena izay heverin'ny sasany fa ny marefo indrindra ara-toe-karena eto amin'izao tontolo izao. |
3 | Blogging at Active Voice, Annie Paul noted that the Tribune “drew attention to Jamaica as another Greek tragedy waiting to happen” by flat-out stating the island nation was “in worse financial shape than Greece” and “caught in a debt trap”. | Mibilaogy ao amin'ny Active Voice, Annie Paul dia nanamarika fa ” misintona ny saina ny Tribune handinika ny momba an'i Jamaika fa ho tahaka izay zava-mitranga tany Gresy no hiseho any atsy ho atsy”, amin'ny fanambaràna faran'izay haingana fa ity fanjakana nosy ity dia ” ao anaty olana ara-bola ratsy kokoa noho ny an'i Gresy” sady ” tratran'ny vela-pandriky ny trosa”. |
4 | Its proposed solution? | Ny vahaolana atolotra azy ? |
5 | “A restructuring, and a bailout with significant debt relief.” | “Ny fanavaozana, sy fanavotana miaraka amin'ny fanamaivanana ny trosa”. |
6 | Paul commented: | Naneho hevitra i Paul hoe: |
7 | This bald statement of Jamaica's stark reality has deeply shaken this nation whose citizens have never had a liking for plain talk. | Io filazana mazava ny zava-misy mafy any Jamaika io no nanozongozona io firenena io izay tsy mankasitraka mihitsy ny fiteny mivantambantana ny mponina ao aminy. |
8 | Being a former sugar plantation, the product is abundantly available, and sugar-coating the truth is routine. | Amin'ny maha-tany fambolena akora hanaovana siramamy (fary) azy fahiny dia mitobaka ny vokatra, ary fahazarana ny fanaronana ny marina amin'ny siramamy. |
9 | She went on to quote some of the “excited chatter” surrounding the issue, reposting a comment from one of her Facebook friends: | Avy eo dia notanisainy ireo ” resaka mahatezitra” manodidina io resaka io, tamin'ny famerenana namoaka ny fanehoankevitra iray avy amin'ny namany ao amin'ny Facebook : |
10 | Ok - so Jamaica has a serious and critical debt problem. | Ok - manana olana lehibe sy saropady eo amin'ny trosa i Jamaika. |
11 | This is therefore the challenge of our time, for our generation to fix and I believe wholeheartedly that we can - why are we educated if not to find solutions? if we don't, then our children will have to fix it, and if they don't then theirs will. | Ary io mihitsy no fanamby amin'izao androntsika izao, hovahan'ny andian-taranaka misy antsika ary izaho mino tena amin'ny foko manontolo fa vitantsika izany- nahoana isika no nianatra raha tsy hikaroka vahaolana ? raha tsy vitantsika io dia ny zanatsika izany no hamaha io olana io, ary raha toa ka tsy vitany dia izay sitrapony. |
12 | Could I find just 20 humble and willing people who aren't motivated by greed and personal welfare, who aren't caught up with always going to party at maiden cay and getting drunk on Friday nights - who are not so egotistic as to think that they are better than their ordinary countrymen , who are patient and ingenious , who are prepared to sacrifice for the good of those who will come after, whose names will be deserving of marking the halls dedicated to them and their work, and whose names children of the future prosperous Jamaican nation will proudly bear? | Afaka hahita ve aho olona 20 tsotra sy vonona aho izay tsy taitran'ny fitiavam-bola be sy ny fiadanany manokana, izay tsy voatariky ny lanonana mandrakariva any amin'ny maiden cay sy mamo isaky ny Zoma alina - izay tsy tia tena ka mihevitra fa ambony noho ireo mpiray tanindrazana aminy, izay manam-paharetana sy kinga, izay vonona hanao sorona ho an'ny fahatsaran'izay ho avy manaraka eo, mendrika hosoratana amin'ny efitrano natokana ho azy ireo sy ny asany ny anarany, ary hitondra amim-pireharehana ny anaran'izy ireo ny ankizin'ny ho avy mamirapiratr'i Jamaika ? |
13 | Could I just find 20 people who understand that things will never get better unless I can find these 20 people? | Mety hahita ireo olona 20 ireo ve aho izay mahafantatra fa tsy hisy fihatsaran-javatra eto raha tsy ohatra hoe hitako ireo olona 20 ireo ? |
14 | And could those 20 people inbox me with the subject - Revolution! | Ary ireo olona 20 ireo ve afaka manoratra ho ahy amin'ity lohahevitra ity - Fikomiana ! ? |
15 | On Twitter, there were markedly different responses to the editorial. | Nisy valin-kafatra samy hafa ho an'ilay lahatsoratra tao amin'ny Twitter. |
16 | Samir King didn't try to contain his sarcasm: | Tsy niezaka ny nanafina ny eson-teniny i Samir King : |
17 | @persian__king: #ChicagoTribune- #Jamaica the #Greece of the Western Hemisphere. | @persian__king: #ChicagoTribune- #Jamaika no #Gresin'ny Ilabolan-tany Andrefana. |
18 | The Prime Minister must be so proud. | Tokony hirehareha ny Praiminisitra |
19 | Marlene Malahoo thought the Tribune editorial was stating the obvious: | Marlene Malahoo dia nihevitra fa filazana ny zava-misy ny lahatsoratra navoakan'ny Tribune : |
20 | @oohalam: Did we really need #Chicagotribune to tell us about the bad lesson of #Jamaica's irresponsible stewardship and its debt trap? | @oohalam: Tena ilaintsika ve ny #Chicagotribune hilaza amintsika ny lesona ratsin'ny fitantanana tsy tompon'andraikitr'i #Jamaika sy ny vela-pandriky ny trosa ? |
21 | The Caribbean News Network simply reported the political reaction: | The Caribbean News Network dia nitatitra tamim-pahatsorana ny fihetsiky ny mpanao politika : |
22 | @caribbeannewsuk: #JAMAICA: Both poltical parties have united to criticise a #ChicagoTribune editorial describing the Jamaican economy as worse than Greece. | @caribbeannewsuk: #JAMAIKA: Nivondrona ny antoko politika roa mba hitsikera ny lahatsoratra navoakan'ny Chicago Tribune nanoritra fa ratsy lavitra noho ny toekaren'i Gresy ny an'i Jamaika. |
23 | Kevin Edmonds, writing for the blog of the North American Congress on Latin America, suggested that last year the region was collectively trying to keep its head above water - and wondered what 2013 could have in store economically: | Nanoratra tamin'ny bilaogin'ny Kaongresin'ny Amerika Avaratra ho an'i Amerika Latina i Kevin Edmonds, nanolo-kevitra fa tamin'ny taon-dasa dia niaraka nanao izay tsy haharendrika ny faritra - ary nanontany tena ny amin'izay ho entin'ny taona 2013 eo amin'ny lafiny ara-toe-karena : |
24 | The ugly reality of austerity has rolled back much of the region's social progress in healthcare and education-and we are witnessing an unparalleled spike of inequality, poverty, and crime. | Ny zava-misy ratsy be amin'ny fitsitsiana dia nampidina be ny fandrosoana ara-tsosialin'ny faritra amin'ny fiahiana ara-pahasalamana sy fampianarana - ary izahay dia vavolombelon'ny fitomboan'ny tsy fitoviana, ny fahantrana, ary ny heloka bevava. |
25 | The majority of the spending for such services now is predominately debt driven and as such are unsustainable. | Ny ankamaroan'ireo fandaniana amin'ny asa tahaka izany ankehitriny dia trosa avokoa ary araka izany dia tsy haharitra akory. |
26 | He cited Jamaica as an example: | Notanisainy ho toy ny ohatra iray i Jamaika : |
27 | Jamaica has come to symbolize how problematic a relationship with the IMF can become. | Tonga manamarika ny hasarotan'ny fiaraha-miasa amin'ny FMI i Jamaika. |
28 | Since the late 1970's Jamaica has been stuck on a treadmill of debt, running at full speed, engaging in continuous borrowing, and repaying with massive amounts of interest while never getting ahead. | Hatramin'ny faran'ny taona 1970 dia niraikitra tamin'ny karipetra mihodin'ny trosa i Jamaika, mihodina haingana, miditra amin'ny findramam-bola mitohy tsy mitsahatra, ary mamerina izany miaraka amin'ny zanabola be dia be nefa tsy mbola nandray tombony. |
29 | In the 35 years the IMF has been in Jamaica, the country has devalued its currency numerous times, liberalized its tariffs, lowered taxes for corporations, created export-processing zones, slashed social spending, and privatized state enterprises. | Tany Jamaika foana ny FMI tao anatin'ny 35 taona, efa im-betsaka ny firenena no nampidina ny sandam-bolany, nanao fanalalaham-bidy, nampidina ny hetra ho an'ireo orinasa, namorona orinasa afaka haba, nampihena ny fandaniana ara-tsosialy, ary nivarotra orinasam-panjakana. |
30 | This has all resulted in higher levels of debt, less social services, little to no economic growth, and the collapse of Jamaica's productive economy. | Vokatr'izany rehetra izany dia niakatra ny trosa, vitsy ny tolotra ara-tsosialy, kely na tsy misy mihitsy ny fisondrotan'ny harin-karena, ary ny firodanan'ny toekarena mitodika amin'ny famokarana tao Jamaika. |
31 | In response to the Chicago Tribune editorial, he wrote: | Izao no nosoratany ho valin'ilay lahatsoratra tao amin'ny Chicago Tribune : |
32 | Jamaica is currently in the midst of deciding whether or not to negotiate a further round of payment restructuring. | Eo andalam-pandraisana fanapahan-kevitra na hifampiraharaha amin'izay fomba vaovao hfamerenam-bola i Jamaika na tsia. |
33 | Instead of flying advisors from Washington to Kingston to provide advice on how to handle the crisis, perhaps the PNP government should be looking south towards Buenos Aries for ideas on how to deal with such unsustainable levels of debt. | Raha tokony hanafatra mpanolotsaina avy any Washington ho any Kingston mba hanolo-kevitra momba izay tokony hamahana ny olana, dia tsy maintsy hitodika mianatsimo any Buenos Aires hitady hevitra amin'izay fomba hiatrehana izao hahavon'ny trosa tsy hay zakaina ity angamba ny governemantan'ny PNP. |
34 | While this will not happen overnight, there is a serious need for democratic renewal in the region. | Tsy vita ao anatin'ny fotoana fohy anefa izany zavatra izany, fa tena ilàna fanavaozana demaokratika matotra any amin'io faritra io. |
35 | The post dealt with other regional push factors - crime and its impact on human development, food security, trade liberalization, the erosion of basic social welfare programs, parallel drug-based economies. | Nilaza zavatra hafa manetsiketsika ny faritra ilay lahatsoratra - ny heloka bevava sy ny vokany eo amin'ny fivelarana amin'ny maha-olona, ny fahampiana ara-tsakafo, fanalalahana ny varotra, ny faharavana tsikelikelin'ireo lamin'asa fototra ara-tsosialy, toekarena mifototra amin'ny zavamahadomelina. |
36 | Edmonds continued: | Mbola notohizan'i Edmonds : |
37 | The orientation of the region has led to a fracturing of both the domestic and regional economies. | Ny lalanjotra nizoran'ny faritra dia nitondra tamin'ny fahatapahan'ny toe-karena anatiny sy any amin'ny faritra. |
38 | What is proposed is not an easy task, and it will take a collective effort. | Tsy asa mora io tolo-kevitra io, fa mila ny fiarahana miezaka. |
39 | What Caribbean leaders need to do is establish a series of plans to tackle to most serious problems facing the region. | Izay tokony hataon'ny mpitarika any Karaiba dia ny manangana andian-drafitra maromaro mba ho enti-miady amin'ireo olana faran'izay lehibe atrehan'ny faritra. |
40 | And if that fails, Annie Paul provided a glimmer of optimism: | Raha toa ka tsy tafavoaka izany, dia nanome tsirim-panantenana kely i Annie Paul : |
41 | Its the young who will have to find ways to cauterize our debt wound. | Ny tanora no hitady làlana mba hanakatonana ny ferin'ny trosantsika. |
42 | If there are enough like [her Facebook friend] Samuel Morgan around there is hope. | Raha toa ka misy toa an'i Samuel Morgan [namany amin'ny Facebook] eny amin'ny manodidina eny dia misy ny fanantenana. |
