The Government’s launch of a dedicated SME Foreign Exchange Window through the Export–Import Bank of Trinidad and Tobago has been hailed by local business leaders and PNM candidates as a positive step toward bolstering small and medium‑sized enterprises.
Richie Sookhai, former president of the Chaguanas Chamber of Industry and Commerce and PNM candidate for Chaguanas East, said the new facility shows that the Stuart Young–led administration is “listening to the people.”
In a phone interview, Sookhai acknowledged that many SMEs would need help meeting statutory requirements—recalling similar challenges during COVID‑19 relief efforts—and pledged to use his office to guide businesses through the application process.
