The value of the National Investment Fund rose to $9.3 billion in 2020, an increase of $1.3 billion since it was set up in mid-2018, chairman Vishnu Dhanpaul reported.
Although the amounts are at lower levels due to the economic impact of the covid19 pandemic, Dhanpaul noted the fund has received a steady stream of dividend payments from investments in Republic Bank, Angostura Holdings, West Indian Tobacco Co Ltd (Witco), One Caribbean Media Ltd (OCM) and Trinidad Generation Unlimited (TGU).
