Ma­jor­i­ty state-owned Na­tion­al Flour Mills Ltd (NFM) yes­ter­day re­port­ed af­ter-tax prof­it of $39.7 mil­lion for the nine months end­ed Sep­tem­ber 30, 2025, a 3.68 per cent in­crease com­pared to its $38.35 mil­lion prof­it for the same pe­ri­od in 2024.

The Min­istry of En­er­gy and En­er­gy In­dus­tries Dr Roodal Mooni­lal has or­dered an im­me­di­ate re­view of Liq­ue­fied Pe­tro­le­um Gas (cook­ing gas) safe­ty pro­to­cols fol­low­ing a se­ries of ex­plo­sions and fires linked to res­i­den­tial LPG cylin­ders.

Ma­jor­i­ty state-owned na­tion­al car­ri­er Caribbean Air­lines Ltd (CAL), has been named the 2025 In­ter­na­tion­al­ly Known…T&T Owned Com­pa­ny of the Year.

Keep­ing it sim­ple may be the cru­cial step to curb­ing con­struc­tion costs when at­tempt­ing to build a home.

The path to en­dur­ing or­gan­i­sa­tion­al re­silience be­gins with lead­er­ship that pri­ori­tis­es a ro­bust Health, Safe­ty, Se­cu­ri­ty, and En­vi­ron­ment (HSSE) cul­ture—a prin­ci­ple that took cen­tre stage at the Amer­i­can Cham­ber of Com­merce of T&T’s (Am­cham T&T) 2025 HSSE Con­fer­ence.

Chi­na’s re­cent crack­down on in­flu­encer cul­ture might seem dis­tant, but it ex­pos­es a truth that hits close to home for T&T: in­flu­ence with­out cred­i­bil­i­ty is noise. The move has reignit­ed a glob­al con­ver­sa­tion that our small, dig­i­tal­ly con­nect­ed mar­kets must not ig­nore.

The in­ter­na­tion­al mar­itime sec­tor is a vi­tal en­gine for glob­al trade, yet it is re­spon­si­ble for ap­prox­i­mate­ly three per cent of glob­al green­house gas (GHG) emis­sions, par­tic­u­lar­ly CO2. This vol­ume is sig­nif­i­cant, ex­ceed­ing, for ex­am­ple, three times the to­tal an­nu­al emis­sions of Trinidad and To­ba­go. The es­sen­tial move­ment of goods via sea comes with a heavy car­bon foot­print that con­tributes di­rect­ly to cli­mate change.

Last Thurs­day, T&T’s Min­is­ter of Works and In­fra­struc­ture, Jear­lene John and Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar de­liv­ered ad­dress­es at the Diplo­mat­ic Cen­tre in St Ann’s, rolling out the Gov­ern­ment’s huge­ly am­bi­tious, and po­ten­tial­ly trans­for­ma­tion­al, vi­sion, called the Trinidad and To­ba­go Re­vi­tal­i­sa­tion Blue­print: Phase II of the na­tion­al re­cruit­ment dri­ve.

Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies (UWI) Pro­fes­sor of Eco­nom­ics, Roger Ho­sein is con­fi­dent that T&T can har­ness Venezue­lan labour and turn it in­to T&T’s next en­gine of growth.

En­tre­pre­neur­ship, the act of tak­ing risks in pur­suit of an op­por­tu­ni­ty, dri­ves eco­nom­ic growth, fos­ters in­no­va­tion and in­creas­es a coun­try’s com­pet­i­tive­ness. Over the years suc­ces­sive gov­ern­ments of T&T have pro­posed ma­jor in­fra­struc­ture and ur­ban-de­vel­op­ment projects with the po­ten­tial for en­tre­pre­neur­ial op­por­tu­ni­ties.

For­mer fi­nance min­is­ter Colm Im­bert yes­ter­day raised con­cerns about un­usu­al trad­ing ac­tiv­i­ty in­volv­ing shares of ma­jor­i­ty state-owned First Cit­i­zens Group Fi­nan­cial Hold­ings (FCGFH), the par­ent com­pa­ny of First Cit­i­zens.
In a post on X, the plat­form for­mer­ly known as Twit­ter, Im­bert said “some­thing sin­is­ter” ap­peared to be hap­pen­ing with the price of FCGFH shares on the Trinidad and To­ba­go Stock Ex­change since April 28.

The long-an­tic­i­pat­ed restart of T&T’s re­fin­ery op­er­a­tions is inch­ing clos­er to re­al­i­ty, with Min­is­ter Roodal Mooni­lal con­firm­ing that the Gov­ern­ment re­mains on sched­ule to re­ceive a crit­i­cal re­port by the end of No­vem­ber.
