PRIME MINISTER Kamla Persad-Bissessar on November 17 restated her government’s ambitious economic transformation agenda, stressing its new revitalisation blueprint will diversify the economy, expand foreign investment and create more than 50,000 jobs, with recruitment for thousands already underway.

In a post shared around 9.21 am on her X platform, she said thousands of citizens are already being screened in phase one of the national recruitment drive, which aims to fill 20,000 public-sector positions in its initial stage.

Persad-Bissessar described the plan as one designed to open “the doors to the international corridors of capital”, emphasising it will attract investment, drive innovation and stimulate new economic activity.
