The Trinidad and Tobago Manufacturers’ Association (TTMA) is expressing hope that political decisions do not hurt trade relations between local businesses and the Caricom community.
TTMA CEO Dr Mahindra Ramdeen made the comment yesterday, following media reports that Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar intends to cut funding to Caricom, after she objected to the reappointment of Secretary General Dr Carla Barnett.
In a telephone interview, Ramdeen said the TTMA will not engage in political conflict but stressed Caricom’s importance to the local economy, noting the region accounted for an estimated 80 per cent of T&T’s non-energy exports.
