Unfortunately Lake Asphalt Trinidad and Tobago (1978) Limited (LATT), like most businesses, has suffered as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Minister of Energy and Energy Industries has urgently sought and obtained Cabinet approval to be able to provide LATT with subventions to assist it in the payment of its expenses, including, the payment of its workers. This is the second intervention by the Government in 2021 to provide subventions to LATT in order that it can meet its obligations to its workforce.
