TOBAGO has received a whopping $3.72 billion allocation from Government to manage its affairs in fiscal 2026 – the largest allocation in the island’s history.

Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo made the announcement during the $59 billion budget presentation in the House of Representatives on October 13.

In its budget presentation in June, the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) requested a $3.71 billion allocation for fiscal 2026. As has been the tradition, during the near ten years that the PNM was in power, the THA's budgetary requests were never met by the then Rowley administration, as the island got less than it asked for.
