CARIBBEAN ROUNDUP
Antoine said there is a projected
decline of 16.2 percent this year.
He said despite the economic and
financial fallout occasioned by the pandemic,
countries in the
Eastern Caribbean Currency
Union (ECCU)
have responded relatively
well.
It is projected that
the ECCU will grow by five percent this
year, as tourism, the dominant export,
slowly recovers, he said.
Trinidad
Prime Minister, Dr. Keith Rowley
has said that stiffer penalties will be
coming in 2021 for individuals found
to be encouraging the illegal entry into
Trinidad and Tobago of Venezuelan
migrants.
Speaking at a recent Cabinet briefing
at the Diplomatic Center, Port of
Spain, Rowley said, “you are going to
see new and firmer laws for persons
who encourage the illegal trade and
stiffer penalties for human trafficking.”
Dr. Rowley spoke
days after a boat loaded
with more than 30
illegal Venezuelans
drowned off Venezuela
while heading for
Trinidad.
He said Venezuelans are being
encouraged to leave Venezuela for
their circumstances, being encouraged
to come to Trinidad by persons who
believe they are doing good.
However, he explained that while the
Venezuelan authorities had charged six
Venezuelans as “human traffickers and
mafia,” the T&T media had wrongly
scolded him by claiming he had
referred to migrants as traffickers.
Rowley said he must ensure T&T
does not become a refugee camp.
He said the Venezuelan migrant
cards were due to last until Dec. 1, but
as of Jan. 1, 2021, will be given a sixmonth
renewal.
