EXPECTATIONS will be high as the country waits to see if the UNC delivers on several general election campaign promises, when Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo delivers the 2025/2026 budget in the House of Representatives which sits from 1.30 pm on October 13.
It will be Tancoo's maiden budget presentation since his appointment as finance minister after the April 28 general election – and follows nine years of consecutive budgets read by then finance minister Colm Imbert, who now will sit and listen to Tancoo, from the Opposition benches.
This budget is also the first for Kamla Persad-Bissessar in her second stint as prime minister.
