THE American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago (Amcham) said it is ready to work with the incoming government, in its congratulations to Prime Minister-elect Kamla Persad-Bissessar and the UNC Coalition of Interests on its victory in the April 28 general election.

“Amcham TT stands ready to work alongside the new government to advance policies that will stimulate economic revitalisation, drive investment, and foster sustainable growth. We are particularly eager to collaborate on strengthening both the traditional and renewable energy industries, expanding the tech sector and digital economy and creating a more enabling environment for businesses through meaningful reforms to improve ease of doing business.”

However, Amcham said the number one priority of the new government has to be to reduce crime, describing crime reduction as a critical element in restoring investor and public confidence and ensuring a safe and prosperous society.
