Same level of Trini funding unlikely

BARBADOS IS UNLIKELY to get the same level of investment from Trinidad and Tobago as it did in the recent past.

That is according to Mariano Browne, a financial consultant and former minister of finance of Trinidad and Tobago, as he offered his wishes for the country in 2015.

“I don’t think investor confidence in Barbados from Trinidad is going to be a problem. Barbados relative to Trinidad is really a safe haven. That is going to continue but you are not going to see the same level of inflow that you had in the past because Trinidad is not in a position to support the level of investment it did before because it is going through some problems,” Browne told the WEEKEND NATION.

The former senior banker said he believed one of the critical issues going into the new year for Barbados was the macroeconomic position of the island. (GE)
