What is the PNM's plan for the economy?

[bluesclues]

another thing, I think local banks should expand the its variety of foreign currency, e.g Chinese dollar, so merchants shopping from China won't have to source USD

Suggested this about 3-5 yrs ago.

How is this suggestion supposed to reduce the expenditure of USD ? Ent you still spending USD to get the Chinese Yuan ? All you doing now is spending extra on brokerage fees.

[sMASH]

well, if u buy the yuan directly with TTd, instead of USd, then u would not have to use any USd. the spanner in the works is how to convince Chinese business to accept TTd.
what is a good reason for a chinese company to have TTd?

[novastar1]

Damn this is depressing






Hopefully people will put down their race/party cards and have some sense in the coming weeks/months ..... Now is not the time for fighting over something that should have been left behind in the 20th century

Everything just seems to be about pressure, gloom and doom and just more pain.
Hopefully the Govt would start some kinda positive initiative soon, but they taking a little too long to get something going.
Time to stop with the deliberations, analysis and ole talk and start something to send a signal of HOPE.

MINISTER of Finance Colm Imbert yesterday announced he has agreed to engage officials of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to provide advice on Trinidad and Tobago’s fiscal policy. The officials will provide technical assistance on a number of areas including: the regime governing oil and gas production; revenue maximisation; reform of the Heritage and Stabilisation Fund; foreign exchange and Government spending, including expenditure in the areas of national security and education.

pnm's plan for the economy is to make racial statements, and then PNMites and UNCites go back and forth on which was more racist against them in office, or which was more corrupt, or how indentureship ent recognised the same as slavery in this country, when indentured servants were never property, and no economic, social, and political ideologies were never designed to justify this practice. oh, and countries never fought big Civil Wars to end indentureship... to date the biggest war in US history, and given how aggressive that country, dat saying it.

[Miktay]

what?

[pete]

According to http://www.seafreightcalculator.com/world/ the freight from China to Trinidad is still over $5000.

Maybe he has some special deal to get it at 1/3 the price.

[Miktay]

Pete: Ningbo to Port of Pain...40"..$2,500-$2700...routing & transit unknown

Call a frt fwder if u serious...

[pete]

Our suppliers normally organise everything and we pay CFR or CIF POS. That freight is what the ship charges or all the costs for handling etc?

So all the 'advice' and 'public consultations' the civil engineering fiance minister had probably didn't work out so he is looking for assistance from Fareign!

This step probably would not have been necessary if he was qualified for such an important position.

Bad on one side, worse on the other...

Well the IMF, one of the ppl he is consulting, commended him so far with regard to his economic policies. http://www.imf.org/external/np/sec/pr/2016/pr16115.htm

The man has to ask for international help moving forward, not like if he can rely on the Opposition.

So ... You don't want to end up in the hands of the devil ... but you invite him for dinner to ask for advice?

Feel free to replace the words "Devil" and "IMF".
Any advice this organisation gives is poison.

This is the purely asinine reasoning ... With thinking like this we will be in the bosom of the IMF in 2 to 3 years.

IMF & World Bank are branches of US imperialism formed after the demise of Bretton Woods.

Even tho theyre the Devil we gotta play nice. Can't avoid the IMF. We gotz 2 grin and bear it.

If u have doubt bout that check out our neighbor. Check Venezuela.
