Trinidad and Tobago is a high-income Caribbean twin-island nation and the most industrialized economy in the region, built not on tourism but on its substantial oil and especially natural-gas reserves.

Energy and petrochemicals dominate, making it one of the world's leading exporters of liquefied natural gas and ammonia, though declining reserves and the need to diversify are concerns.

Key Sectors

The economy is dominated by oil, natural gas, and petrochemicals (a major LNG, ammonia, and methanol exporter), with a smaller manufacturing and financial-services sector.
