Investment Protection Agreements: T&T’s gateway to the world

On Feb­ru­ary 3rd, 2026, it was an­nounced that the overn­ments of Trinidad and To­ba­go (‘T&T’) and the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates signed an Agree­ment for the Pro­mo­tion and Rec­i­p­ro­cal Pro­tec­tion of In­vest­ment. Though wel­come news, it is wor­thy to bear in mind that this agree­ment is but one of many which af­ford var­i­ous ben­e­fits to T&T in­vestors. In this mul­ti-part se­ries, we dis­cuss the var­i­ous in­vest­ment pro­tec­tion agree­ments (al­so com­mon­ly re­ferred to as bi­lat­er­al in­vest­ment treaties) to which T&T is par­ty and pro­vide a high-lev­el overview of some of the key pro­vi­sions of such agree­ments, in­clud­ing the rights and ben­e­fits avail­able to T&T in­vestors.
