LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
Trinidad and Tobago
— Trinidad and Tobago’s Finance Minister Colm Imbert commented 12 Apr. 2022 on Twitter about the twin-island country’s fuel subsidy. “The $2 billion fuel subsidy is not income. It is an unbudgeted additional expense. If we have to spend an additional unbudgeted $2 billion in 2022 on this, the real question is – what existing areas of expenditure would the government have to reduce to make up that additional $2 billion expense?” Imbert continued: “gasoline is purchased by countries at an ex-refinery price, based on the cost of acquiring and processing oil. It costs us in Trinidad and Tobago $7 billion a year to purchase fuel, which is sold to motorists for $5 billion. The $2 billion difference is paid by taxpayers, which could be used for many other purposes.”
