EXCEL Guyana Inc. has commended the 2026 National Budget, noting that it lays a strong foundation for investment, infrastructure and opportunity, while at the same time, places Guyanese people and communities at the centre of national development.

The budget, which represents government’s fiscal plan for 2026 was unveiled last Monday by Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh.

In a press release, the company said the initiatives in the budget support its 30 years of work across the Caribbean and beyond.

The government’s allocations for infrastructure, and logistics will not only accelerate construction projects and enhance nationwide connectivity, but it will improve access to services, create jobs, and strengthen communities, the company said.

Excel Guyana noted that the promised Development Bank will provide vital support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), empowering local entrepreneurs to expand their businesses and generate employment.

It also pointed out that the tax relief for the agriculture and agro-processing sectors is expected to open new avenues for both farmers and producers, ensuring that Guyanese households benefit from lower costs, stronger food security, and expanded opportunities in value-added industries.

Excel Guyana noted that just as important are the measures aimed at workforce development, which align with its recruitment and Employer of Record services and will ensure that Guyanese workers are equipped with the skills and support needed to thrive in a rapidly growing economy.

According to the press release, the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chair of Excel Guyana Inc., Kris Sammy, said, “Budget 2026 is more than an economic plan, it is a people-centred vision for Guyana’s future.”

He added, “Excel Guyana is proud to stand alongside this vision by connecting investors, building partnerships, and ensuring that growth translates into better lives for all Guyanese.”
