Madam Speaker, Honourable Members, I rise today to deliver the Budget Statement for the 2025 Financial Year. This is my 10th Budget presentation, which comes at a pivotal moment in our Government’s steadfast and resolute pursuit of economic prosperity, social equity and sustainable growth. Before getting into the details of this year’s Budget, I must express my gratitude to Dr. the Honourable Keith Rowley, our Prime Minister and Leader of this PNM Administration, for his support and astute leadership over the past 9 years. It has been a privilege to serve as Minister of Finance and to steer the fiscal affairs of our nation since the inception of this Administration in September 2015.

Reflecting on the challenging circumstances that characterised our entry into office, it is essential to acknowledge the turbulent economic landscape which confronted us in 2015, with declining commodity prices and production levels, followed by COVID-19, global inflationary trends and shortages, conflicts in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine war. We had to manage this hostile economic environment in the face of an overdrawn government bank account and a disconnect between government expenditure and revenue, where expenditure had increased by 40 percent over the period 2010 to 2015 without a corresponding increase in revenue.

]]> National Budget Statement 2024 presented by the Honourable Colm Imbert, MP, Minister of Finance in the House of Representatives on Monday 2nd October, 2023.

Madam Speaker, I wish to present to this Honourable House the Budget Statement for the financial year 2024. However, it is only fitting that before starting I thank Dr. the Honourable Keith Rowley, our Prime Minister and Leader of this PNM Administration, for his support and understanding over these past 8 years.

Indeed, I have had the pleasure and privilege to manage the fiscal affairs of this country as Minister of Finance since this Administration assumed Office in September 2015.

Madam Speaker, it needs to be repeated that eight (8) years ago, in 2015, when we were elected to Government, our economy was confronted with exceptional and challenging difficulties because of a collapse of oil and gas prices that started in 2014, coupled with declining oil and gas production and an unhelpful petroleum tax regime. Our detractors do not wish to acknowledge these truths and would prefer that we pretend it was not so, but this is the stark reality we faced.

The Budget is the Government’s financial plan for a given period. The budget states how much money the Government intends to spend during a year (expenditure), what it intends to spend it on appropriation), and where it expects to get the money to pay for that spending (revenue).
The budget usually covers one year which is known as the fiscal year. In Trinidad and Tobago, the fiscal year begins on October 1 and ends September 30.
