BUSINESS CHAMBERS have called for equity and balance in distribution of foreign exchange (forex) from Eximbank after the newly-appointed board fired chief executive officer (CEO) Navin Dookeran.

“What is at issue here is the ability of this new administration to find a fair and balanced, equitable way of forex distribution for those of us that are the most vulnerable,” said Vivek Charran, president of the Confederation of Regional Business Chambers.

“We are talking about businesses that have operated for decades, generational family businesses, many of whom are retail SMEs and are fighting for survival.”
