TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Bullish budget
Trinidad & Tobago's finance minister, Karen Nunez-Tesheira, was
notably bullish when she delivered her first budget on 22 September. The country
has become the world's fifth biggest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and
a major crude oil producer. The revenues from these businesses are allowing the
government to challenge Venezuela and its Petrocaribe programme, which offers
cheap oil to Caribbean and Central American consumers.
