L’?conomiste Thomas Lalime, r?agissant aux d?clarations de Jean Baden Dubois, gouverneur de la banque centrale, annon?ant que de l’ordre sera mis sur le march? des changes afin de rapprocher les taux du secteur informel de celui du formel, a exprim? des doutes sur la disponibilit? du dollar sur le march? des changes. <>, a d?clar? l’?conomiste sur Magik 9 le mardi 23 ao?t 2022.

Pour ce qui est de la liquidit? du billet vert, une baisse de 3 % du volume de transferts sans contrepartie vers Ha?ti est observ?e, ? cause de la migration d’Ha?ti vers la R?publique dominicaine et de la hausse de l’inflation qui, en juin, a d?pass? 9 %, selon Jean Baden Dubois, en conf?rence de presse le lundi 22 ao?t 2022. Il faut ajouter ? cette r?alit?, les d?faillances structurelles de l’?conomie qui n’exporte pas assez et qui ne g?n?re pas suffisamment de devises.

<< Il faut des mesures salutaires mais impopulaires pour produire. L’augmentation de l’offre de dollars doit passer par l’exportation, le tourisme, la diaspora ha?tienne. <>, avait plaid? le gouverneur de la banque centrale, Jean Baden Dubois.

Pour Thomas Lalime, l’effet balan?oire sur le march? des changes est une porte ouverte ? la sp?culation. Dans son intervention ? l’?mission Panel Magik, l’?conomiste a mis l’accent sur le caract?re dangereux de la chute brutale du taux de change. <>, a expliqu? le Dr Lalime, qui croit que c’est exactement sur ce type de d?sordre que la banque centrale doit agir. Selon l’?conomiste le plus grand perdant, la plus grande victime des pertes de change provoqu?es par l’effet balan?oire sur le march? des changes sera toujours les plus pauvres.

Selon Lalime, il est de la responsabilit? de la banque centrale de prendre des mesures pour r?guler les op?rations de changes dans le secteur informel. Le vice-gouverneur de la BRH, Georges Henry Fils, a reconnu, hier, que des mesures prises par la BRH peuvent avoir ?t? contourn?es par ces op?rateurs de l’informel qui sont motiv?s par le profit. <>, a fait savoir le vice-gouverneur qui a ?voqu? la prise d’autres mesures. <>, a indiqu? Thomas Lalime.

Sur le plan politique, la question, a constat? M. Lalime, est de savoir si l’on va dans une spirale de d?sordre ou de vagabondage. <>, a pest? l’?conomiste.

Face ? la situation ?conomique pr?caire d’Ha?ti, marqu?e par une inflation galopante, par la chert? de la vie, la population, malgr? ses griefs, ses revendications, se doit d’agir en toute s?r?nit? pour ?viter au pays de sombrer dans le chaos. Thomas Lalime rappelle que les ?pisodes de troubles n’ont jamais am?lior? le tissu productif d’Ha?ti. <>, a-t-il martel?, soulignant qu’il revient aux autorit?s de mettre de l’ordre dans le pays ? tous les niveaux.

Royal Caribbean recruits more from TT

Tourism, Culture and the Arts Minister Randall Mitchell with Wendy McDonald, regional vice president of government relations (Caribbean) for Royal Caribbean International, at Hilton Trinidad on May 23. –

The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts announced on Tuesday that Royal Caribbean Group, through its seafarer recruitment initiative, recently completed a second phase of recruitment in TT.

On May 23 the ministry signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the group that saw thousands of job opportunities being offered. A recruitment fair was held in June with thousands turning up to be interviewed to work with the group.

A news release said 1,300 applicants were interviewed virtually by a 19-member recruitment team between August 9-19.

The ministry added the applicants were contacted by the group and attended interviews at home, Queen’s Hall, Port of Spain or Shaw Park Complex, Scarborough, Tobago.

“The second phase of this recruitment drive continues to afford employment opportunities for hundreds of citizens within the tourism and hospitality services, food and beverage management, and the medical field.”

The ministry said the second phase gave people who were unable to participate in June a second chance.

The MOU lasts for one year and creates an ongoing relationship with the group to provide employment at a time when “covid19 has had a deleterious effect on TT’s tourism sector and the wider job market,” it said.

Approximately 1,000 applicants received letters of offer from the company for a range of positions including chefs, housekeepers, inventory managers, restaurant attendants, bartenders and doctors, the ministry said.

Tourism, Culture and the Arts Minister Randall Mitchell said, “The ministry remains committed to doing our part to facilitate meaningful employment opportunities for our citizens as well as support initiatives that boost economic recovery.”

Those who accept the group’s offer letters must now complete a personal data form, conduct a more detailed assessment and then receive letters of employment that specify the vessel assignment along with the date and port to meet the vessel. It is only then the applicant applies for the seafarer’s visa, it said.

“The Royal Caribbean Group will cover the cost of visas, all training as well as the cost of airfare to meet their assigned vessel. Tickets for travel are sent via RCG’s recruitment portal to the nearest airport to the ship’s current port of call,” it added.

A screengrab of a robbery by bandits dressed as police at a home in Chase Village, on Saturday. –

POLICE are advising the public to, as much a possible, comply with instructions given by armed individuals to “minimise injury or loss of life.”

This after several recent incidents where people dressed as police officers attempted to enter homes or commit robbery.

In a statement on Tuesday, the police assured the public it was actively pursuing leads in the robbery in the Central Division on Saturday and all other like reports, where the perpetrators were dressed in police wear.

Around 4.40pm on Saturday, owner of the R Maye Hardware, Double Palm Guest House chains and Hanggers Extreme Restaurant and Bar, Rajendra Maye, was robbed of money and jewellery at his Chase Village, Chaguanas home.

He said around 4.40 pm four armed men dressed in police uniforms entered his home, tied up his wife and daughter’s boyfriend, and took daughter to get the family’s valuables at gunpoint.

Also, over the weekend security footage circulated on WhatsApp showing men in police uniforms driving to a house in Cascade and asking the owner to let them in. The owner refused and the men left in a waiting car.

There was also an incident on August 10 where three armed suspects, allegedly dressed in police uniforms robbed two truck drivers in Morvant of hundreds of cases of alcoholic beverages.

The statement said, “When approached by an armed individual, if there is an opportune time so to do, you can place an immediate call to 999, leave the call running and during the call mention your location and the type of vehicle the persons are using, don’t hang up the phone.”

It suggested victims could also call a police station.

It advised that, on most occasions, when police officers execute a search warrant at a home, there were usually officers dressed in the grey and blue uniform, and marked police vehicles with sirens and flashing lights were used.

“TTPS-issued badges are worn by officers and police officers who are known in the area and have long-standing relationships within the community are also present to give legitimacy to the exercise.”

It added that it was an offence to impersonate a police officer according to Section 62 of the Police Service Act Chapter 15:01.

The Act said: A person, other than a police officer, who without the written authority of the Commissioner –

(a) puts on or assumes, either in whole or in part, the uniform, name, designation or description of a police officer, or a uniform, name, or designation, resembling and intended to resemble the uniform, name or designation of a police officer; or

(b) in any way pretends to be a police officer for any purpose which he would not by the law be entitled to do of his own authority

is liable on summary conviction to a fine of thirty thousand dollars and to imprisonment for three years.

WASA employees pump out water from a ten-foot-wide sinkhole on the Western Main Road, St James, on Tuesday evening. – Angelo Marcelle

The front left wheel of a car went into a sinkhole in the road which opened up opposite Courts in St James on Tuesday.

The hole, which was about ten feet wide and four and a half feet deep, had water pouring out of it into the canal on the west-bound side of the road.

In a press release, the Water and Sewerage Authority said a leak developed on a 16-inch diameter transmission pipeline and undermined a portion of the road. Emergency repair work was scheduled from 6 pm on Tuesday to 6 am on Wednesday.

It said customers in parts of St James and environs would experience a disruption in their water supply during the repairs and up to 24 hours after the work was completed.

When Newsday visited the area, vendors said water started to bubble up out of cracks in the street at the corners of Western Main Road and Benares Street around 6 am. The cracks widened, raising and breaking up the pitch as the day progressed.

They said it was some time between 2 pm and 3 pm when the wagon unsuccessfully tried to swerve from the damaged piece of road, when the left front wheel drove over the cracks and the hole opened up. The car was removed soon after with the help of the police.

Cones and tape were placed around the hole to prevent further accidents, and around 4 pm, two employees of the Port of Spain City Corporation visited the scene to assess the situation.

THA meets China Railway to ‘protect interest of residents’

THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, centre, at a meeting on Tuesday with China Railway Construction Ltd. –

Chief Secretary Farley Augustine and a team from the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) on Tuesday met officials from China Railway Construction Ltd, the main contractor for the $1.2 billion airport expansion project.

Augustine confirmed the meeting in a Facebook post. Also attending the meeting were electoral representative for Bon Accord/Crown Point Joel Sampson and Secretary of Infrastructure, Quarries and Urban Development Trevor James.

Augustine said, “We met with China Railway today as we seek to protect the interests of the residents in Crown Point that are being forced from ancestral lands for the airport development.

“Additionally, the THA has been present at all the meetings held among the parties/stakeholders as we seek to resolve this matter in the interest of the residents of Crown Point and by extension the people of Tobago. The next meeting of stakeholders will be tomorrow.”

Tuesday’s meeting came less than two weeks after families in Zone D of the project, on Crompston Trace Extension, Bon Accord were left stunned as China Railway workers, accompanied by police, entered their homes on August 11 in an eviction attempt. Furniture and other items were removed and left at the side of the road. Tensions flared between residents and China Railway workers as THA secretaries and assemblymen gathered to show residents their support.

But after hours of heated confrontation, residents were allowed to stay until the matter is resolved in the court.

The Judiciary confirmed on August 12 that “as a result of hearings before the court on August 8 and 9, an undertaking was given by the Minister of Agriculture, Lands and Fisheries through the Attorney General of TT not to issue a Warrant of Possession pursuant to Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act against the occupiers and/or owners of Plot Number N61A, Bon Accord, Tobago, said to belong now or formerly to Jocelyn Mc Kenna, Horace Henry and others. That undertaking continues until August 26, 2022.”

Augustine said the THA stands with the residents in their fight for respect and compensation from the State.

The National Infrastructure Development Company Ltd (Nidco) is managing the project and has put aside $300 million for the land-acquisition process.

Drake Spotted Out With 22-Year-Old “Munch” Rapper Ice Spice In Toronto

Black Immigrant Daily News

Drake isn’t wasting time as he appears to be spending time with 22-year-old Bronx rapper Ice Spice just days after he first jumped into her DMs to signal that he liked her music.

A video hit the internet on Tuesday night showing the Canadian rapper, along with Ice Spice and another male friend, out at a concert. This comes just days after she shared a DM from Drake where he signaled that he liked her music.

The “Name of Love” artist was virtually unknown until it was reported that Drake hit her up. Of course, the blogs are always keeping an eye out for Drizzy news as he is reportedly very single.

The 35-year-old OVO rapper recently dropped her track “Munch (Feelin’ U)” along with a music video that drew praise from Drake.

She reposted the 6God’s messages to her, which read, “That ‘Munch’ and your ‘On The Radar’ freestyle hard [as f***],” Drizzy wrote. “Imma play em on our radio show.”

In the meantime, fans online were not surprised at the link-up, which showed Drake singing along and enjoying the music at the concert at the Budweiser Stage. Ice Spice also shared a video on Instagram showing her exiting a private jet in bell bottom pants and a cropped top. The Dominican artiste, whose signature look is a head full of scarlet curls, walks off looking stunning.

Online, fans speculated that the two rappers might not be dating but that Drake might have signed her. “We all know why drake signed icespice,” one person wrote. “Ice Spice getting the Jack Harlow treatment from Drake, she getting a corporate push rn outta nowhere,” another wrote.

“Don’t try pushin that ice spice shorty or whatever her name is cause Drake co-signed it, that nigga signed Smiley lol she bad but she BAD….. at rappin,” another added.

Meanwhile, while he is seen with Ice Spice, there are speculations about the Toronto rapper’s dating life as he was recently spotted yachting with 20-year-old influencer Suede Brooks.

If anything, though, Drake managed to keep his son a secret for a long time, so who knows, maybe he might be super private about his love life too, so there is nothing to it being seen with Ice Spice.
