THE Ministry of Finance wishes to clarify that the proposed sum of $15B to be borrowed for use by the Special Purpose Unit (SPU), as reported in Thursday’s Stabroek News, Guyana Times and Guyana Chronicle, is not solely for the reopening of the Skeldon and Enmore Sugar Estates.

It also includes the financing of critical current and capital programmes, if GuySuCo is to achieve the revised target for this year and the projection for 2019.
