Massy Hold­ings Ltd has an­nounced that Marc Ros­tant has re­signed as group ex­ec­u­tive vice-pres­i­dent and port­fo­lio chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer of its Mo­tors and Ma­chines port­fo­lio, ef­fec­tive Ju­ly 8, 2025.

T&T was the sec­ond largest methanol ex­porter in the world in 2024. The coun­try ex­port­ed 4,071.3 thou­sand tonnes of methanol and gen­er­at­ed US$1.3 bil­lion in ex­port sales.

Cana­da abrupt­ly can­celled its dig­i­tal ser­vices tax less than 24 hours be­fore col­lect­ing US$2 bil­lion from tech gi­ants. The trig­ger wasn’t Sil­i­con Val­ley lob­by­ing—it was Pres­i­dent Trump’s threat to sus­pend trade ne­go­ti­a­tions, call­ing the tax “an at­tack on Amer­i­ca.”

Since it was launched in 1999, the T&T Man­u­fac­tur­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion’s (TTMA) Trade and In­vest­ment Con­ven­tion (TIC) has gen­er­at­ed US$1 bil­lion as of 2024 in trade.

Re­mem­ber when a food blog­ger’s rec­om­men­da­tion could make or break your week­end lime spot? Or when a quick video re­view from a lo­cal cre­ator turned an ob­scure dou­bles ven­dor in Pe­nal in­to a must-vis­it des­ti­na­tion overnight? Those mo­ments were root­ed in au­then­tic­i­ty, a time when in­flu­encer mar­ket­ing in T&T was built on trust, not trans­ac­tions. In the ear­ly days, con­tent cre­ators gained in­flu­ence not through al­go­rithms or ad bud­gets, but by of­fer­ing hon­est rec­om­men­da­tions based on re­al-life ex­pe­ri­ences. Their sto­ry­telling was raw, their voic­es un­fil­tered and their im­pact un­de­ni­able.

In the last few days, the pub­lic de­bate on the dis­tri­b­u­tion of for­eign ex­change has ben­e­fit­ted sig­nif­i­cant­ly from the pub­li­ca­tion of two well-ar­gued, con­se­quen­tial con­tri­bu­tions on the is­sue of whether the Cen­tral Bank should dis­close this coun­try’s top users of for­eign ex­change, as a pre­vi­ous Cen­tral Bank Gov­er­nor, Jwala Ram­bar­ran, did in De­cem­ber 2015...and for which he was fired.

In the glob­al and lo­cal en­er­gy sec­tor, there are many cor­rup­tions risks of which cit­i­zens, com­pa­nies and Gov­ern­ment should be aware and vig­i­lant. These risks ap­pear at dif­fer­ent phas­es. They can emerge at the stage of li­cence and con­tract award to the com­pa­ny, the reg­is­tra­tion stage where ben­e­fi­cial own­er­ship in­for­ma­tion of com­pa­nies, the Gov­ern­ment part­ners with, is dis­closed. The risks and ac­tors are var­ied. These in­clude but are not lim­it­ed to bribery, col­lu­sion, po­lit­i­cal cap­ture, con­flict of in­ter­est, use of shell com­pa­nies and mon­ey laun­der­ing and ter­ror­ist fi­nanc­ing. Mit­i­gat­ing all these risks can prove chal­leng­ing. How­ev­er, by de­moc­ra­tis­ing da­ta and dis­clos­ing crit­i­cal in­for­ma­tion coun­tries can lessen these risks. The avail­abil­i­ty, ac­ces­si­bil­i­ty and abil­i­ty to use of da­ta for cit­i­zens and an­ti-cor­rup­tion agen­cies is key. The Ex­trac­tive In­dus­tries Trans­paren­cy Ini­tia­tive (EITI) dis­clos­es da­ta aimed at mit­i­gat­ing cor­rup­tion.

This is the sixth edi­tion of a sev­en-part se­ries fea­tur­ing sec­ondary school stu­dents pro­vid­ing their thoughts on En­vi­ron­men­tal, So­cial, and Gov­er­nance (ESG) is­sues as part of the HAR­CON Na­tion­al Youth Sus­tain­abil­i­ty and ESG Pi­lot Project

More than one month has elapsed since the June 4 an­nounce­ment by NCB Fi­nan­cial Group (NCBFG) that it in­tend­ed to raise US$300 mil­lion bond, but there has been near si­lence on the state of the in­ter­na­tion­al cap­i­tal mar­kets of­fer.

Pro­fes­sor of Eco­nom­ics, Roger Ho­sein be­lieves that the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) Gov­ern­ment’s first Mid-Year Bud­get Re­view is an at­tempt to sta­bilise the econ­o­my.
