Dr Roger Hosein, senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies (UWI), St Augustine, yesterday warned that the T&T economy is in trouble. “There is the growth of shale gas in the US and while they used to buy our gas now they will be our competitor.

Hosein made the comments at the launch of two of his books at the Office of the Principal, UWI, St Augustine.

Hosein said Government spends too much on subsidies which does nothing productive for the economy.
