Minister of Planning, Economic Affairs and Development Kennedy Swaratsingh has announced plans to secure up to US$5 billion in funding over the next three to five years to support private sector-led diversification initiatives under the Government’s economic revitalisation agenda.

According to a release yesterday from the Planning Ministry, Swaratsingh’s statement came during bilateral discussions which he hosted with the World Bank Group to further identify initiatives and areas where the World Bank Group, through all its financing windows, can support the Government of Trinidad and Tobago’s Economic Reset Agenda.

The World Bank Group made a four-day visit to Trinidad from Monday to Thursday.
