Trinidad and Tobago's economic outlook.

Significance

After several years of contraction, the Trinidad and Tobago economy is now showing signs of recovery, based on rising natural gas production and an uptick in oil prices. In addition, the government has instituted policy reforms to better control public finances. Efforts are also being made to increase economic cooperation with other countries, but this has been complicated by a mixed picture in terms of foreign relations.

Impacts

Concerns over Islamist activities and a rise in suspected terrorism financing may mar the economic outlook.

Efforts to build new international partnerships may see a rise in some business and infrastructure sectors.

Rising gas production and oil prices will boost the hydrocarbons sector.
