1.0 Energy Sector and the Macroeconomy:
Theoretical Perspectives
•
Development is constrained by low levels of
investment. Access to capital and foreign exchange
from the energy sector could help to “push” or propel
growth. [Lewis, Rostow, Rosenstein-Rodan, Roemer]
•
Natural resource abundance can have a negative
impact on economic growth and development if not
managed optimally. [Auty, Gelb]
•
Riding the crest of the product cycle which may imply
deriving optimal benefits from the energy sector.
[Farrell]

1.1 Key Issues from Theoretical Perspectives
• Dependence on energy can make economic
performance susceptible to economic shocks.
• Resource boom can result in a decline in the tradeable
sector and an expansion in the non-tradeable sector.
• Inflows of significant foreign exchange resources could
lead to real exchange rate appreciation and impact
competitiveness in the non-energy sector.

2.2 Main features of Linkages
•
High energy prices in an environment of increasing
energy production raises export earnings and increases
tax revenues.
•
Increased tax revenues helps to bolster government
expenditure envelope.
•
Increased expenditure in tradeable sector could expand
investment, output and employment.
•
Expansion in non-tradeable activities could have
distortionary effects on investment, aggregate demand,
labour market and prices.

3.2.0 Energy Sector and Trade
•
Energy exports continue to dominate extra-regional and
intra-regional exports.
•
Sharp increases in energy prices in the new millennium.
•
Significant volatility exhibited in energy prices over last
four (4) decades.
•
Decade of 1970s: High energy prices resulted mainly
from supply side restrictions.
New millennium: Booming global demand, especially by
China and India, and increasing speculation contributed
largely to high energy prices.

3.3.0 Energy Sector and Fiscal Accounts
•
Energy revenue still accounts for a significant
proportion of government revenues.
•
Non-energy revenue has however been
increasing over time with the expansion in the
non-energy sector.
•
Heritage and stabilisation fund provides a
viable avenue for increased savings and for
lessening demand pressures.

4.0 Macroeconomic Management
•
Managing the existing buoyant economic
environment requires focused attention on:
1.
Expanding the absorptive capacity of the economy via
focus on expanding the non-energy tradeable sector
(agriculture, financial services, tourism).
2.
Managing rapid appreciation of the nominal and real
exchange rates so as to sustain competitiveness of the
economy.
Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago
4.0 Macroeconomic Management
•
Managing the existing buoyant economic
environment requires focused attention on:
3.
Managing inflationary pressures arising from rapid
growth in aggregate demand.
4.
Investing additional energy resources to provide for
inter-generational
savings
and
to
smoothen
consumption.
Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago
4.0 Macroeconomic Management
•
5.
Managing the existing buoyant economic
environment requires focused attention on:
Creating an enabling environment for private sector
investment:
– Provision of appropriate economic and social
infrastructure (education, health, physical
infrastructure).
– Maintaining a consistent and transparent policy
framework.
Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago
5.0 Current Risks in Global Environment
•
Strong likelihood of slower economic growth
could dampen demand for energy and exert
downward pressure on oil prices.
•
Current financial market turmoil has already
depressed yields in global financial markets
and could lead to lower returns on financial
capital.
