Fi­nance Min­is­ter Dav­en­dranath Tan­coo says the coun­try’s for­eign ex­change chal­lenges are so se­vere that even he could on­ly ac­cess US$200 dur­ing a re­cent vis­it to his bank.

Speak­ing yes­ter­day at the Trinidad and To­ba­go Man­u­fac­tur­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion (TTMA) post-bud­get fo­rum at the Hy­att Re­gency, Port of Spain, Tan­coo said the short­age has reached every lev­el of so­ci­ety and will take time to fix.
