The Joint Consultative Council for the Construction Industry (JCC) has warned that the Caricom market is currently "indispensable" to TT's economic resilience.

In a media release on December 23, JCC president Fazir Khan said TT should reject any notion that it could prosper without the support of Caricom.

His comments follow statements by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar criticising Caricom and describing it as fractured and an "unreliable partner". She added that TT is seeking partnerships beyond the region.
