Economist Professor Roger Hosein says Trinidad and Tobago must urgently boost tourism earnings and labour force participation if it is to strengthen its economy, warning the country may have “one last chance” to put its finances on a sustainable path.
Speaking on CNC3’s The Morning Brew yesterday, ahead of next Monday’s Budget 2027 presentation, Hosein said the country continues to face fiscal challenges after years of deficit spending.
He said he did not expect T&T to quickly emerge from deficit budgets, particularly without a significant increase in energy revenues.
