In to­day’s fast-paced and ever-evolv­ing busi­ness en­vi­ron­ment, ad­min­is­tra­tive pro­fes­sion­als are no longer con­fined to tra­di­tion­al roles of sched­ul­ing and cor­re­spon­dence. They are strate­gic part­ners, prob­lem-solvers, and of­ten the steady force that keeps or­gan­i­sa­tions func­tion­ing ef­fi­cient­ly. With in­creas­ing re­spon­si­bil­i­ties, tighter dead­lines, and the ex­pec­ta­tion to adapt quick­ly to change, re­silience has be­come an es­sen­tial skill for the mod­ern ad­min­is­tra­tive pro­fes­sion­al.

Last Thurs­day, in this space un­der the head­line, “Who will ben­e­fit from the Re­vi­tal­i­sa­tion projects?” ques­tions were raised about the cur­rent ad­min­is­tra­tion’s use of a se­lec­tive, com­pet­i­tive pro­cure­ment method to choose con­trac­tors for ma­jor hous­ing projects in Trinidad:

An­nie Phillip is a full-time florist by pro­fes­sion, and an on-the-job trainee at Flavours by Di­a­mond’s Cre­ative Hands; her own small busi­ness that pro­duces pep­per sauces and de­hy­drat­ed spices.

NGL yes­ter­day re­port­ed an af­ter-tax prof­it of $32.1 mil­lion for the three months end­ed March 31, 2026, an in­crease of 0.94 per cent com­pared to the prof­itabil­i­ty of the nat­ur­al gas liq­uids pro­duc­er for the same pe­ri­od in 2025, when af­ter-tax prof­it of $31.8 mil­lion was record­ed.

Pres­i­dent of the Sheep and Goat Farm­ers As­so­ci­a­tion, Shi­raz Khan, is con­cerned that the in­crease fines on the pro­duc­tion of vine­gar and co­conut oil is a fur­ther blow to mi­cro en­ter­prise in the agri­cul­ture sec­tor.

Sco­tia­bank T&T Ltd has re­port­ed in­come af­ter tax­a­tion of $301 mil­lion for the six months end­ed April 2026, a de­crease of $39 mil­lion or 11 per cent com­pared to the same pe­ri­od in 2025.

Farm and Func­tion Ltd is quick­ly emerg­ing as one of T&T’s most com­pelling agribusi­ness suc­cess sto­ries, fol­low­ing a dra­mat­ic res­cue and turn­around that has trans­formed the com­pa­ny from in­sol­ven­cy to rapid ex­pan­sion in less than a year—while plac­ing it at the cen­tre of a broad­er na­tion­al con­ver­sa­tion on food se­cu­ri­ty, im­port sub­sti­tu­tion and agri­cul­tur­al re­vival.

The Cen­tral Bank’s May 2026 Mon­e­tary Pol­i­cy Re­port sug­gests that the T&T econ­o­my is en­ter­ing a pe­ri­od of mod­er­a­tion as high­er in­ter­est rates, tighter fi­nan­cial con­di­tions and eco­nom­ic un­cer­tain­ty be­gin to in­flu­ence bor­row­ing and spend­ing de­ci­sions.

Cana­di­an busi­ness process out­sourc­ing (BPO) provider Sin­gle­Point Group In­ter­na­tion­al Inc. (Sin­gle­Point GI), has ex­pand­ed its op­er­a­tions in T&T.

When trad­ing opens on the Nas­daq on 12 June un­der the tick­er SPCX, in­vestors will be asked to val­ue Space Ex­plo­ration Tech­nolo­gies at rough­ly US$1.75 tril­lion. At a tar­get of about US$135 a share for some 556 mil­lion shares, the of­fer­ing aims to raise close to US$75 bil­lion, com­fort­ably the largest ini­tial pub­lic of­fer­ing (IPO, where a com­pa­ny of­fers its shares for sale to the pub­lic for the first time) ever at­tempt­ed, dwarf­ing Sau­di Aram­co’s US$29 bil­lion de­but in 2019.

They have spent years per­fect­ing their In­sta­gram grid, post­ing con­sis­tent­ly, and chas­ing reach across so­cial plat­forms. But then the al­go­rithm changes, vis­i­bil­i­ty drops overnight, and sud­den­ly years of ef­fort feel un­sta­ble.
