The Tobago Division of the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce has endorsed the presentation of the mid-year budget review in Parliament today. Chairman Curtis Williams stated that if the government continues along its trajectory, they are confident that the Tobago private sector can begin to get out of its economic slump.

Chairman of the Tobago Division of the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Curtis Williams gave the Finance Minister’s mid year budget review a passing grade of 7.5 out of 10.

This rating is pegged against the deliverables to Tobago and announcements of support to the progress of the economy. Namely, the $79 million dollars for salary adjustments and payments to teachers awarded to the THA, along with $15 million dollars to begin construction of the Scarborough Secondary School.
