Take a look at the real effective exchange rate and it would explain the reason for shortage of foreign exchange.

Our metrics are trending towards the 1980's again and those in know hedging by converting to foreign currency investments that is exacerbating the situation.

The CB is trying to increase interest rates to make TT dollar investments more attractive by it may be too late since the damage has been done so they might have to seriously consider devaluation.

We can safely say you speaking from 50 years of PNM experience.

Hence the panic because they FEAR the PNM coming back into power.

DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN ON SEPTEMBER 7TH

UML , you willing to put your head on a block and say the UNC will not devalue the TT$ in the next 5 years ?

I will have a better chance of a head with the PPG than the PNM! The PPG does not WILLINGLY TAX and SACRIFICE the people for their OWN POCKETS as the HISTORY of the PNM!!!

Property tax is not a new tax but updating the land and building tax from precolonial valuation.

Updating property tax under PNM would have been a massive scam. Nothing would be changed, PNM would have just taken the money to fund their grand failed notions like racket rail. While councils remains broken and services for home owners non existent.

Are you aware that under Jwala Rambarran the CBTT policies changed for the distribution of USD and since then businesses across the board have called for CBTT to revert its policy but Jwala says no and keeps injecting higher than normal US currency into our financial system with no alleviation of the problem?

Flat Tax, give with one hand and steal with the other hand.
Old age pension, change to to a grant and you have to be really down and out to qualify for that.

Well if PP plants in the CBTT giving bad policy and PP is inept to stop business scammers then PP should get vote out and allow for someone else to properly handle the economy.

The Arabs not scamming the system like they use to under the PNM, that's why they want PNM back.

[shaneelal]

Believe the one in the airport was operated by RBC, got feedback from them, they indicated they currently don't have any ATMs that dispense USD.

usd atm not possible
it would be swamped in current economic state

rbc had one in st clair
was mostly used by venes from early in the morning

Was telling my wife recently just like how I used to hear storys from my father about "long time" the ease of US$ access is something I can tell my son when he gets a little older and he would be like wow.
I can't remember when they took them out but RBC had US$ ATMs in the airport on the outside, Independence Sq and Maraval Rd. Didn't know about the St Clair one and I'm sure they probably had in at least one branch in South as well. That's how easily one could have gotten as US$.

[pugboy]

it wasn’t that easy tho
those atms would run out by lunchtime

[Dizzy28]

Maybe after the Latin invasion they started to run out but in the mid noughties the one that was under the staircase in the Airport always had US$ in my experience.

[dogg]

"Long time" is 10 years ago??
Cuz I used to walk in to RBL on Ariapita AVE and buy $1000 US cash almost every month for a year
