The T&T real estate industry has seen an uptick in activity, mostly in residential properties between $1.5 million and $3 million. This was confirmed by Mark Edghill, the immediate past president of the Association of Real Estate Agents (AREA), during an interview with the Sunday Business Guardian last week.

Edghill, who has served as AREA president for the past eight years, said the increase in activity is due to attractive interest rates and job security in the middle-income bracket as well as the flexibility of property prices.

Türkiye is hoping to strengthen its business relations with Trinidad and Tobago. This is according to the Turkish Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, Bengü Yiğitgüde. Speaking at a business lunch meeting hosted by the Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Services Industry (TTCSI), Yiğitgüde says she wants to draw more attention to their trade market.

“Our figures in trade are very modest, but it does not really reflect our potential, it should be more. So, I am hoping that we can increase those numbers and create more awareness about the market here in Trinidad and Tobago and to draw some attention to the possibilities of what Türkiye can do,” Yiğitgüde said.

Mark Edghill, president of the TT Coalition of Services Industries (TTCSI), has said the European Union (EU) is TT’s second largest trading partner.

He was speaking at the TTCSI’s Doing Business with the World Series webinar on Wednesday, which put a spotlight on the EU.
