Addressing members of the business community and other leaders, Duncan suggested that T&T could achieve economic transformaton by: establishing non-partisan oversight committees, making definitive decisions around foreign exchange policy and strategies, creating a more business friendly environment as well as leveraging the Heritage and Stabilisation Fund.
He urged T&T to learn from the Jamaican experience and "make the hard decisions needed for economic transformation."
Duncan also called on the business community, labour and the Government to provide solutions that would positively affect economic change.
