The Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Services Industries (TTCSI) says while the 2025/2026 budget represents a “step forward for services sector,” greater policy coordination and targeted investment are required.
In a statement, the TTCSI took note that the budget includes several initiatives aimed at strengthening the country’s services sector, which contributes over 60% to national GDP and employs the majority of the workforce. It also noted that this year’s budget “presents a clearer recognition of the services economy than in previous years, particularly through policy initiatives in digital transformation, tourism, education, and creative industries.”
However, the organisation emphasises that consistent implementation, measurable targets, and a unified national strategy are essential to unlocking the sector’s full potential.
