This was re­vealed by ANSA McAL Group CEO An­tho­ny Sab­ga III at the re­lease of the group’s fi­nan­cial re­sults for the three months end­ed March 31, 2026, at Samaan Es­tate in St Clair.

Some­thing im­por­tant hap­pened in Trinidad’s con­struc­tion in­dus­try this April and it was a long time com­ing. The Trinidad and To­ba­go Con­trac­tors As­so­ci­a­tion (TTCA) host­ed its very first Women in Con­struc­tion Lead­er­ship and Net­work­ing Event, mark­ing a wa­ter­shed mo­ment not just for the As­so­ci­a­tion, but for the in­dus­try in Trinidad and To­ba­go as a whole. It was an af­ter­noon of can­did con­ver­sa­tion, shared ex­pe­ri­ence and the kind of hon­est reck­on­ing that sets the stage for re­al, last­ing change.

In April 2026, T&T ex­pe­ri­enced some­thing few tra­di­tion­al mar­ket­ing cam­paigns could ever achieve. When IShowSpeed ar­rived in Port of Spain, the coun­try did not just wel­come a vis­i­tor. It be­came a glob­al spec­ta­cle.

Trinidad and To­ba­go re­mains one of the Caribbean’s most avi­a­tion-de­pen­dent tourism mar­kets, with al­most half of all vis­i­tors en­ter­ing the coun­try through con­nect­ing flights rather than di­rect ser­vices, even as re­gion­al trav­el growth slows sharply and com­pe­ti­tion for vis­i­tors in­ten­si­fies.

An em­pha­sis on con­sol­i­da­tion while im­prov­ing pro­duc­tiv­i­ty is be­ing urged ahead of the gov­ern­ment’s Mid-Year Bud­get Re­view.

T&T re­mains one of the Caribbean’s strongest re­gion­al tourism mar­kets de­spite eco­nom­ic chal­lenges, ris­ing crime con­cerns and for­eign ex­change short­ages, a top tourism of­fi­cial from An­tigua and Bar­bu­da said, while warn­ing that es­ca­lat­ing fu­el prices could soon place pres­sure on re­gion­al air­fares and air­lift.

The news that Nu­trien is ac­tive­ly look­ing to sell its Trinidad as­sets and that Pro­man is mak­ing sig­nif­i­cant new in­vest­ments in the Mid­dle East have re­fo­cused at­ten­tion on the fu­ture of the down­stream petro­chem­i­cal in­dus­try in Trinidad & To­ba­go.

Fi­nance Min­is­ter Dav­en­dranath Tan­coo has said the gov­ern­ment will ne­go­ti­ate the terms of the cross-bor­der nat­ur­al gas deals in the best in­ter­ests of the peo­ple of Trinidad and To­ba­go.

For years, busi­ness­es com­pet­ed to rank on Google. The goal was sim­ple: show up on page one, get the click, win the cus­tomer.

Dr Bhoen­dra­datt Tewarie is one of T&T’s longest-serv­ing and most dis­tin­guished pub­lic in­tel­lec­tu­als, as he was first elect­ed to the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives in 1986 as a mem­ber of the Na­tion­al Al­liance for Re­con­struc­tion gov­ern­ment.

The Na­tion­al In­vest­ment Fund Hold­ing Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed record­ed of a net loss for the three month pe­ri­od end­ed March 31, 2026 (Q1 2026).

As the coun­try en­ters in­to what is fore­cast to be a heavy rainy sea­son, ex­perts warn that com­muters and busi­ness­es may once again shoul­der the con­se­quences of un­re­solved trans­port and drainage fail­ures—con­di­tions that rou­tine­ly give rise to flood­ing, crip­pling traf­fic con­ges­tion and mil­lions of dol­lars in eco­nom­ic loss­es.
