The Government of Jamaica is planning to sell its 45% stake in Clarendon Alumina Production Limited, a bauxite and alumina company. Minister Floyd Green announced the divestment, which is pending an independent market valuation involving the Ministry of Finance and the Attorney General's chamber. The sale is intended to reduce the Government's exposure to operating losses and contingent liabilities associated with the company.
