Summary

The staff report for the 2008 Article IV Consultation of Trinidad and Tobago highlights economic developments and policies.

External vulnerability is low as a result of large international reserves and low debt ratios, and the banking sector has entered the period of global turmoil from a position of strength and with little reliance on external borrowing.
