Terrence W. Farrell

Terrence W. Farrell has devoted many waking hours to shaping policy initiatives which helped to restructure Trinidad and Tobago’s international debt and IMF programmes, liberalise the economy and structure the flotation of the country’s currency. His work has also informed the policy direction and initiatives of private sector institutions in the Financial Sector, IT Services and the Media.

The wellspring of experiences from which he draws includes directorships of several private sector Boards, government-appointed committees and Task Forces including Trinidad and Tobago’s Vision 2020 Core Group and the Task Force on the Future of BWIA. Dr. Farrell, Economist/Lawyer/Mediator has published several articles on Caribbean Eco-nomics, Central Banking and Monetary Integration.  His latest publication provocatively focuses on what he suggests is the underachievement of Trinidad and Tobago compared to states like Norway, Barbados and Singapore.

In diagnosing the underperformance of T&T he goes be-yond the analysis of policy and implementation and boldly addresses the role of culture and ethnicity.  This publication also goes a long way towards creating and sustaining a stream of informed public debate which often does not exist in small Caribbean societies. He now works in the areas of economics, strategy consulting and business development as well as legal advice and mediation.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxPortofSpain, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxPortofSpain event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. Learn more about TEDx. Learn more about TEDx
