Central Bank governor Larry Howai has called for urgent global action to reduce trade barriers, warning that such distortions disproportionately harm developing economies. He made the remarks while addressing the Ministers and Governors Meeting of the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four (G-24) in Washington last week. Howai led a delegation from Trinidad and Tobago to Washington for the 2025 Annual Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund, as well as the G-24 Annual Meeting on International Monetary Affairs and Development. The events concluded on Saturday.
