One Caribbean Nation. Trinidad Guardian Editorial The population of Trinidad and Tobago is now into a period in which every T&TEC generator that blows can give citizens close to the explosion a feeling “that the war has started.” And who can blame such a possible reaction in the circumstances of complete uncertainty about what is likely to unfold out of the happenings of the last couple weeks.

One Caribbean Nation. ‘TWO-PRONG ATTACK’ ‘INCREASE IMPORTS, BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH STABLE EXCHANGE RATES’ — WORRELL By Emmanuel Joseph In a move that upends decades of thought in economics on managing developing countries like Barbados, the former governor of the Central Bank of Barbados has proposed that the region import more. Dr Delisle Worrell suggested increased imports as part of bold policy reforms focused on currency stability, arguing that only these measures will unlock sustained foreign investment and lift the Caribbean out of decades-long economic stagnation. Economists in the region have long argued against increasing imports, fearing consumer demand would invariably drain foreign reserves and weaken a country's capacity — or will — to grow GDP through domestic industrial development and exports. But in his latest monthly newsletter, Imports Sustain the Quality of Life in the Caribbean, Dr Worrell, who also consulted for the International Monetary Fund and World...
