Minister Jearlean John: Infrastructure, Environment Critical To T&T’s Investment Future

Works and Infrastructure Minister Jearlean John says attracting investment is not only about creating opportunities for investors; it is also about creating a country where those investments can thrive.

Speaking at the American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago’s 4th Annual ESG Conference 2026 on Tuesday, she said that requires Government, citizens and businesses to take greater responsibility for protecting Trinidad and Tobago’s infrastructure and environment.

“We don’t know what changes are to come on the global market, but we have to be ready and position ourselves. So even if we are not wealthy now, we can start the walk that will allow us to grow and be seen as serious investment hubs.”
