The Couva/Point Lisas region is being positioned at the heart of Trinidad and Tobago’s economic boom.

Recognised as a fast-growing commercial and urban hub, the area is predicted to generate billions of dollars in revenue as the Ministry of Trade, Investment and Tourism moves to revitalise dormant assets, reshaping the region’s future.

Speaking at the Couva Point Lisas Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, at the Private Sector Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago’s ‘On the Road to Transformation’ Consultation, Director of Investments at the Ministry of Trade, Investment and Tourism Irfan Hosein said the government has identified more than 100 dormant assets across Trinidad and Tobago for rejuvenation under a phased plan approved in October 2025. He said several of these assets are located in Couva, positioning the region to benefit from a billion-dollar revenue stream and wider national economic growth.
