“When next you hear the authorities say Trinbagonians demand too much foreign exchange, we import too much ‘luxury’ items, we shop online too much, we use foreign credit cards too much, we travel too much, and we get blamed for all the foreign exchange problems in T&T, stop and think about this—for the past 12 years (2011-2023), over US$25 billion has gone missing from our country,” Dukharan stated in her latest Caribbean Monthly Economic Report.
“On average, over US$2 billion each year just disappears, and nobody has been able to account for it, ever. But have you ever seen this in the news?” she stated.
Using the International Monetary Fund’s global database for 2011-2022, Dukharan noted that the Errors and Omissions (E&O) item—meant to account for statistical errors in the balance of payments for T&T—shows a net outflow of US$23 billion that cannot be accounted for.
“This is about 77% the size of our economy (2022, IMF) and over US$16,000 per person. On a per capita basis, we are the world’s largest losers of foreign currency. Only 20 countries globally have lost more in absolute US dollars than we have from 2011-22, and only three countries—Djibouti, Liberia and the Marshall Islands—have lost more relative to GDP (Gross Domestic Product),” she stated.
...
“But if statistical weakness was the biggest explanatory factor, one would expect the E&O item to be a fairly random number— positives and negatives, large and small. But T&T’s E&O item has been consistently negative every year since 2011 (the earliest data available), meaning we have an undocumented net outflow of US dollars each year that we can’t account for. Furthermore, apart from 2012 and then 2020-21 (COVID?) the E&O item has consistently exceeded US$1 billon each year, the highest being US$4.8 billion in 2013. And this pattern in the data suggests that something else, apart from statistical weakness, is at play,” she said.
Dukharan said that T&T’s reserves declined by 48% from a US$11.5 billion peak in 2014 to US$5.98 billion in June 2024.
“In the absence of Government borrowing and withdrawals from the HSF (Heritage and Stabilisation Fund), T&T’s forex reserves would be only US$157 million in March 2024, which is roughly one week of import cover,” Dukharan stated.

The undocumented net outflow of US dollars each year is most likely physical cash that left our banking system, found its way in the underground economy and physically laundered out the country.
Dukharan alluded to it:
“But I am certain that it is purely coincidental that our E&O losses took off just when the previous Government introduced direct flights to Panama and London (reputed to be money laundering hotspots), and that our E&O losses were lowest during Covid-19 lockdowns when borders were closed. As with traffic jams and crime, we lose immeasurable precious time, effort, talent and perhaps even lives, navigating our nation’s US dollar shortage, created not by any error or omission but by successive governments’ deliberate and harmful policy choices.”

In 2023, Gopee appeared before a Couva Magistrate on 9 charges, which included possession of ammunition and threatening to kill police officers.
