GUYANA is a country with which I have been familiar, for the past five decades, through visits to friends; and also relatives, who have made this very beautiful land their second home. Of course, the latter were attracted to this country because of the business opportunities that are on offer. And how well they have done so far! For them, Guyana is a paradise, for what it has given them, and by extension the numerous number of investors of all scales, both foreign and local. That I express these lines, is from a ‘Trini’ perspective, who have been observing the gradual, but exponential changes that have been transforming the ‘Land of many waters’, as it is called. Truly, Guyana is on the rise, with the safe prediction that it will become one of CARICOM’S major economic powerhouses in another five years.
Thus it is fitting, that another independent observer, a fellow ‘Trini’, no other than the Managing Director of Trinidad’s Republic Bank, Mr. David Dulal-Whiteway, can praise the economic performance of this country. Of course, he speaks with great authority because of the local branch of the Republic Bank’s performance portfolio reflecting an 18% increase in loans and advances, which he cited. This will redound to his outfit because of its large market share locally.
With the fullest justification, he alluded to this significant increase to the continued positive growth and performance of the Guyana economy.
As a constant visitor to this country, I have noted the many challenges that have faced the great and resilient Guyanese people. But thank God for the Peoples Progressive Party return to power since 1992 – Guyana has been led out from the dark night into a brand new day of the greatest socio-economic development it has ever known. No doubt, it has been receiving warm praises from the World Bank, IMF, IDB, among the principal multilateral agencies, for its wise macroeconomic policies.
Yes, I am a Trini applauder of a country that is an example to its other sister CARICOM states on what is sound economic policies and good management.
