Independent senators Marlene Attzs and Francis Lewis are warning that Trinidad and Tobago could face mounting fiscal pressures, citing rising debt, persistent foreign exchange shortages and weak economic growth.
The concerns were raised during debate on the Finance (Supplementation and Variation of Appropriations) Bill, 2026, in the Senate yesterday.
During her contribution, Attzs warned that greater financial problems could be on the horizon if the Government keeps borrowing to cover day-to-day expenses instead of investing in long-term economic growth.
