I share this opinion.
From the very same ppl that hoarding the US.eliteauto wrote:RBphoto wrote:Yes, an immediate float would be beneficial. It will crush the black market and free up USD for trade. It will only work if they also remove the caps on how much an individual can acquire and the ridiculous waiting period.
where the $US gonna come from?

Meanwhile pricesmart shelves are filled with imported goods and filled with people buying said goods. One wonders how pricesmart is paying for these goods?
Also new and foreign used cars are plentiful on our roads adding to traffic. How are the dealers paying for those cars? With TTD ?
You see what you people fail to understand is that because of oil and gas money, Trinidad has grown to adopt and adapt to a lifestyle that needs foreign $$$ to sustain itself. This is beyond PNM/UNC rhetoric that many of the forum racist seem to think.
Is the government suddenly supposed to say NO MORE USD for those obviously imported strawberries and juicy grapes? Or how about a ban on the importation of new and used cars & trucks because it uses to much USD?
What about medication? No more USD for that too?
Agriculture can't and will never bring in the money that we got from Oil and gas. We are limited by land space, that much is obvious. Rum shop talkers should actually do some research and compare the revenue gained from agriculture vs oil and see if a 100% increase in spending on agriculture will bring in the R.O.I like oil did?
And FYI, the minister of finance embarked on a roadshow last year to rally investment from the us. Maybe you can edify yourself on what happened there along with the other measures the govt has taken since assuming office.

From what I have seen, a PNM education at UWI is better than majority of the British Education offered at private schools.
In any event the only hope right now is probably to legalize all them Vene, Colombian and Cubans in this country. Since this is a stable country, if we get young hard working people we might actually be able to attract investors we can already offer them cheap current.
Look at all them factories in Trinidad now and warehouses etc is endless Spanish people working inside there now, they are stronger and complain less than Trinis.

This is where you lost all respect
"They (the banks) are obviously giving forex to their largest clients which only makes sense because if you're a bank and you want to make profits and you have an instrument available to you which is foreign exchange you're going to make available to the person who gives you the most income." Imbert said.
What recession ?desifemlove wrote:PNM deserves to lose the election.
they have not managed this recession wel enough. any government in any country provides hope, and not just hope, but a plan of action. it's common sense,and macroecon 101. Mr. shaved head man will spend his term saying treasury empty. so what? what yuh gonna do to make the treasury full? the real cause is a lack of diversification, but PNM under the late Manning did sheit to correct that. and Kamz didn't either.
As for changing the FOREX regime, i doh see how that can work. As it's a commodity-based economy, the rates will swing too wildly for the economy to cope. maybe have it against a basket of currencies, or expand the dirty float range. it is technically a float, just not a free float like the USD or Euro.
And you belive thatdesifemlove wrote:yes, there was. it was declared in 2015, towards the end of UNC and beginning of PNM.
