Following announced developments in the business sector in the 2025/2026 budget presentation, president of the TT Coalition of Services Industries (TTCSI) Dianne Joseph, said the government needs to focus on implementation, not only promises.
Although welcoming the budget’s announced VAT removal on basic food items and the $1 billion National Investment Fund Holding Company Ltd, Joseph said, "Substantive governments would have had challenges of implementation and while the budget is a very good one, it is one of promise.
"We believe that if the government does not have the right teams to focus on implementation then we will have a challenge like those for the past couple of years."
