On March 31, 2026, the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago published its latest semi-annual update on the execution of the 2021/22–2025/26 Strategic Plan. In the months ahead, the Bank will focus on the next strategic cycle and advance more recent initiatives.
The outbreak of war between the United States (US), Israel and Iran, and its subsequent escalation to involve other Gulf States, added further downside risks to the projected trajectory for global economic activity in 2026. While it remains too early to assess the global economic impact, in early March 2026 the International Monetary Fund reported disruptions to trade, spikes in energy prices and volatile financial markets as a result of the conflict. Revisions to global economic projections are therefore anticipated.
The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago celebrates the 40th anniversary of its iconic Auditorium, which first opened its doors on March 26, 1986, as the nation’s first modern performing arts theatre. Four decades since then Governor Dr. Euric Bobb officially opened the venue as “a civic contribution which would hopefully assist in enhancing the performing arts in T&T,” the Central Bank Auditorium has grown into an enduring cultural institution, hosting hundreds of local and international performances, groundbreaking cultural programmes, and landmark events that have shaped the country’s artistic landscape.
