The Employers Consultative Association of Trinidad and Tobago (ECA) wishes to express its relief that the long awaited legislation relating to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) has finally been passed.

The Employers Consultative Association of Trinidad and Tobago (ECA) is deeply concerned about the recent statistics revealed in Transparency International’s 2016 Corruption Perception Index. The ECA notes the significant decline in Trinidad and Tobago’s ranking from 72 of 168 countries in 2015 to 101 of 176 countries in 2016.
