French am­bas­sador to T&T, Di­di­er Chabert, is hope­ful that a so­lu­tion to the for­eign ex­change cri­sis would be found in the in­ter­est of the coun­try’s econ­o­my.

Peren­co has be­come a ma­jor oil and gas pro­duc­er in T&T fol­low­ing ac­qui­si­tion of as­sets from Wood­side en­er­gy.

The T&T Pro­mot­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion (TTPA) is sound­ing the alarm over pro­posed leg­isla­tive re­forms that they be­lieve could dis­rupt the en­ter­tain­ment and tourism sec­tors.

The an­nounce­ment on June 30, 2025 by IDB In­vest to sub­scribe to $250 mil­lion in so­cial bonds is­sued by T&T Mort­gage Bank Ltd (TTMB), in part­ner­ship with Re­pub­lic Bank Ltd (RBL), marks the first time in the Caribbean such fi­nanc­ing is tar­get­ting women.

Fac­ing a tight for­eign ex­change mar­ket, PriceS­mart’s Trinidad busi­ness­es have turned to the Ja­maican cap­i­tal mar­kets and Trinida­di­an banks to source up to US$65 mil­lion for the con­struc­tion of its dis­tri­b­u­tion cen­tre and set­tle­ment of its out­stand­ing payables.

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.

Tra­di­tion­al­ly, when you think about bul­let trains, tech­nol­o­gy and ad­vanced economies, you think about Japan and Ger­many. But now, In­dia’s do­ing all of that. I con­tex­tu­alised In­dia’s ad­vances and got some an­a­lysts to talk about the MOU’s and In­dia’s Prime Min­is­ter’s vis­it last week. I no­ticed this morn­ing the T&T Cham­ber of In­dus­try and Com­merce al­so is­sued a me­dia re­lease on the vis­it so I took out a line and added to the sto­ry.

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.
