Prime Minister Stuart Young says one of his top priorities in his new office is addressing the issue of foreign exchange allocations.

Young said he and Finance Minister Vishnu Dhanpaul will be holding talks with the Central Bank and the Bankers Association of Trinidad and Tobago, in an attempt to address the issue, next week Tuesday, at Whitehall at 2 p.m.

Speaking at his first post-Cabinet news conference at Whitehall yesterday, Young said, “I’m hoping all the CEOs, the chief executive officers of the banks that operate in Trinidad and Tobago to meet with myself, the Minister of Finance, right here at Whitehall because I intend to address immediately.”
