The international economic crisis closed a cycle of robust growth and massive twin surpluses in Trinidad and Tobago, a country which had benefited greatly from the escalation in international oil prices in recent years. Sharp contractions in the construction and commerce sectors led to a 0.9 percentage point decline in GDP compared with 2008, the first dip since 1993. From the fourth quarter, however, there were tepid signs of a recovery, which continued throughout the first quarter of 2010, in tandem with a rally in the energy sector spurred by more buoyant international prices. The central bank forecasts 2% growth for 2010.
