00:00We have some of our members complaining bitterly.
00:03We have members who is in the technical field that have to pay subscriptions abroad for
00:08software license and other things that they need Forex to do with their credit card.
00:14And now when you reduce the limit, it becomes hard.
00:17They have to go to multiple banks and open up accounts and try to get credit cards from
00:22four different banks just to be able to meet their monthly commitment to pay these subscription
00:26fees.
00:27Mr. Williams spoke with TV6 News at his Crown Point, Tobago office.
00:32He is calling on Finance Minister Carmen Embert to do more in immediately treating with the
00:39matter.
00:40The minister did promise that Forex window through Ex-Im Bank in the last two budget
00:45speeches.
00:46We heard him mention it and it never materialized.
00:49I did get on to Ex-Im Bank and they tell me, yes, they're all waiting on the minister.
00:55So we're all waiting on the Minister of Finance to do something and do something fast as we
01:00in Tobago just suddenly slowly disappear.
01:03Meantime, he is informing the public in Tobago to brace for further increased food prices
01:08for Christmas in light of the continued protest action by port workers in Trinidad.
01:14We already have folks already eager and waiting to get their containers clear.
01:19And they said, Mr. Williams, prices are going to go up.
01:24Prices is going to go up.
01:27So let's brace for it.
