Introduction
It is my privilege to present the 2027 National Budget to this Honourable House and to the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
When this UNC Administration entered office 18 months ago, we inherited the legacy of the PNM: a significant debt burden, including $12.04 billion due almost immediately.
They left $10.6 billion due in VAT and other tax refunds, and billions owed to workers in negotiations settled and to be settled.
