The Cen­tral Bank of T&T (CBTT) is prepar­ing to roll out sweep­ing changes to the coun­try’s cur­ren­cy, fi­nan­cial reg­u­la­tion and pay­ments ecosys­tem, as it tran­si­tions in­to a new five-year strate­gic cy­cle aimed at mod­ernising the fi­nan­cial sys­tem and strength­en­ing eco­nom­ic re­silience.

At the cen­tre of this shift is the Cur­ren­cy Tran­si­tion Pro­gramme, which will in­tro­duce a new Se­ries 2026 TT$100 note by Au­gust, fea­tur­ing the up­dat­ed na­tion­al Coat of Arms.

The move sig­nals the start of a broad­er over­haul of the coun­try’s phys­i­cal cur­ren­cy, sup­port­ed by up­grades to na­tion­al cash-pro­cess­ing in­fra­struc­ture.
