Today’s conference is driven by the thought-provoking theme of “Charting New Horizons: Accelerating Growth with Diversification and Seizing Digital Opportunities.”
At this critical juncture in our economic development, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago is fully prepared to expand and develop our capital markets. Our goal is clear: to create a resilient, diversified economy that can exploit the new opportunities the digital era brings.
As the Minister of Finance, I am firmly committed to developing our capital markets to support this goal and to build a strong and resilient economy that can prosper in the face of global challenges and external financial shocks.
I recently wrapped up a rigorous parliamentary agenda over almost 4 weeks that resulted in my 10th National Budget being passed. It was grueling but a necessary exercise in public communication and transparency.
