Growth in Trinidad & Tobago Will Remain Weak Through 2019

 

• Economic activity in Trinidad & Tobago (T&T) will undergo a modest expansion in 2019 as energy production continues to rise.
• However, T&T will face headwinds from contractionary fiscal and monetary policy and slowing global growth, which will weigh on consumption and investment.
• Fitch Solutions maintain its forecast for real GDP to expand by 1.3% in 2019, following a growth estimate of 1.0% in 2018.
