Investor confidence will be destroyed no matter how much they try to down play the acquisition. It was already panicked by the global situation.

The central bank doesn't control anything within HCU therefore-there is no vested interest by the gov't or the ppl of Trinidad and Tobago to prevent it from sinking.

Let it die is what I say.

When wholly private financials are about to die...LET them die!

The HCU does not fall under the ambit of the Central Bank from the regulatory position, thus they could not intervene

What he said--->Yeah thanks :lol:
