Caribbean Debt Default and The EU Hypocrisy
On this episode, The Yaad speak to Trinidad and Tobago's economist Marla Dukharan. Ms. Dukharan is a point of reference for monitoring regional developments and country-level economic performance, and is known for leading discussions and publishing reports on the Caribbean implications of global geopolitical developments. On this episode, she spoke to The Yaad about her predictions of debt default that some Caribbean economies will resort to and how other countries who were in the same predicament, handled debt default. She also went into details behind her 2020 statements, "The EU as an institution has adopted a discriminatory stance against some of the world’s smallest and most disadvantaged countries.”
