The Honourable Davendranath Tancoo, Minister of Finance, today received the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Staff team, led by Ms. Ana Guscina, for the concluding meeting of their two-week official visit under the 2026 Article IV Consultation, the standard annual review conducted by the IMF with all its member countries. During the mission, the IMF team held wide-ranging engagements with economic, political, and social stakeholders across Trinidad and Tobago.

These discussions provided a comprehensive opportunity to review recent macroeconomic developments, the medium‑term outlook, and the Government’s ongoing reform agenda. They also allowed the IMF Staff Team to observe that strengthened regional and international engagement along with opportunities linked to developments in Venezuela, is generating a positive momentum for Trinidad and Tobago and increased interest from global investors.
