AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Energy & Environment: Trinidad and Tobago’s Energy Ministry and Heritage Petroleum say an offshore Gulf of Paria oil spill was stopped the same day (about 10 barrels), with dispersant use approved and follow-up checks finding no visible hydrocarbons—while Venezuela continues to press for information and reparations, keeping the border dispute politically hot. EMA Scrutiny: The EMA defended the Certificate of Environmental Clearance for Tobago’s Rocky Point hotel, citing technical reviews and agency consultations, even as residents and the Rocky Point Foundation still raise red flags over potential reef impacts. Industry & Jobs: TTMA is backing the opening of the Brechin Castle agro-processing facility in Couva, pitching it as a boost for SMEs, food security, export development, and jobs through reduced post-harvest loss. Energy Sector Pressure: Former energy minister Stuart Young renewed attacks on gas allocation decisions after Nutrien shutdowns and Methanex warnings, arguing investor confidence is being undermined. Digital Finance: TTSEC certified nine virtual asset service providers under the new Virtual Assets Act, signalling tighter regulation as risks like fraud and cybercrime rise. Culture & Trade Links: India’s Jaishankar and PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar delivered Made-in-India laptops, while Jaishankar also pushed for direct flights despite aircraft shortages.
