Former Finance Minister Highlights Urgency For Diversifying T&T’s Economy

There is a need for greater urgency in diversifying Trinidad and Tobago’s economy.

It was a point made by former Minister of Finance, Karen Nunez- Tesheria.

The country continues to rely heavily on the oil and gas sector as its major income earner over the years.

However, speaking on the Afternoon Power Drive on Power 102 Digital on Monday, Mrs Nunez -Tesheria reflected on plans which were made in the past under, the former Patrick Manning administration, to make this country an attractive international financial center.

She suggested the model be revisited and action taken accordingly.

Mrs Nunez-Tesheria said several ideas have been put forward in terms of diversification but the issue has to do with implementation of the recommendations.
