Budget Statement 2026 – T&T First: Building Economic Fairness through Accountable Fiscal Policies presented by Presented by the Minister of Finance the Honourable Davendranath Tancoo, MP., Minister of Finance in the House of Representatives on Monday, October 13, 2025.
Mr Speaker, I am honoured to deliver the UNC’s inaugural Budget.
On April 28, 2025, the people of Trinidad and Tobago, by their collective action, gave this UNC Government a resounding mandate to restore good governance, rebuild our economy and improve the lives of every citizen across our beloved nation.
They asked for sincerity and compassion in government. They asked for a credible plan to move Trinidad and Tobago forward.
They asked for jobs, growth, prosperity and social peace. It is therefore a profound privilege to present the 2026 Budget to this Honourable House.
