Dr. Ashni Singh, the Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance and the Public Service, highlighted Guyana’s current economic boom as a result of deliberate and strategic government planning. Speaking at the recent ‘Econome’ Business Conference held at the Guyana Marriott Hotel, he asserted that this is the most prosperous era in the nation’s history, underscoring the government’s active role in guiding the economic landscape.
“We are experiencing an extraordinary economic shift, driven by intentional policies and visionary strategies,” Dr. Singh declared. He emphasized that the current generation of Guyanese is remarkably fortunate, and it is imperative to ensure that this prosperity is widespread across society.
While the oil and gas sectors are receiving international attention, Dr. Singh clarified that economic growth in Guyana is not confined to these industries. He stated that the growth is evident across various sectors including construction, manufacturing, services, and agriculture, driven by policies designed to cultivate a competitive, non-oil economy.
Addressing entrepreneurs, business leaders, and investors, Dr. Singh reiterated the government’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment conducive to the growth of both nascent and established enterprises. He also promised that if the administration secures reelection, it will persist in promoting substantial economic growth, job creation, and increased incomes.
The conference served as a platform for significant players in Guyana’s business sector, showcasing avenues for investment and collaboration, as the nation continues to emerge as one of the world’s rapidly expanding economies.
