PRIME MINISTER Kamla Persad-Bissessar said she has mandated every cabinet minister and government agency that 2026 must be a year of economic rebuilding, recovery and delivery. She said TT enters 2026 with renewed confidence, clear direction and a strong sense of responsibility.

In her New Year’s Day 2026 message, Persad-Bissessar said a new year invites reflection, but also demands accountability.

“It calls for leadership that delivers results, institutions that function with discipline, and public service that places the national interest first. Every ministry is required to work diligently, co-ordinate effectively and execute programmes with measurable outcomes. Inefficiency, delay and waste will not be tolerated.
