Belt tightening, budget cuts, and a call by Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Dr Keith Rowley for national sacrifice as the twin Island Republic's oil and gas based economy deals with dismal fiscal projections as a result of falling oil and gas revenue. Keeping Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) away from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is the stated intention of the T &T Prime Minister.
The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC)and its affiliated sport organisations will answer the call and be part of the solution.
Sport will be a saving grace for Trinidad and Tobago in 2016.
