At the post-Cab­i­net news con­fer­ence at the Red House on May 15, 2025, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad Bisses­sar man­dat­ed three of her min­is­ters—Min­is­ter of Fi­nance, Dav­en­dra­dath Tan­coo, Min­is­ter of Plan­ning, Eco­nom­ic Af­fairs and De­vel­op­ment and Min­is­ter in the Min­istry of Fi­nance, Dr. Kennedy Swarats­ingh and Min­is­ter of Trade, In­vest­ment and Tourism Satyaka­ma “Ka­ma” Ma­haraj—to pro­duce a re­port on forex dis­tri­b­u­tion and leak­ages over the past 10 years.

In out­lin­ing what she ex­pect­ed in that re­port, the T&T Prime Min­is­ter said:

“So one is a dis­tri­b­u­tion, but there is al­so the leak­age, and this is a se­ri­ous mat­ter. Again, one of the cries we heard in the coun­try was about the is­sue of forex, so we need to know where the forex went, to whom it went, why it went, how it went, and how it was de­ployed, how it was used.
