As Guyana embarks on its transformative journey under President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s leadership, experts and youths are abuzz with excitement about the nation’s future prospects.
The government’s ambitious plans for mega-projects, including a deep-water harbour, bridge across the Corentyne River, and fertiliser and natural gas plant, have sparked optimism among economists and young leaders alike.
Financial Analyst Joel Bhagwandin believes that Guyana is poised to transition from a historically primary-sector economy to a value-added, tertiary-sector one. ‘We are moving beyond the traditional society stage,’ he said. ‘With major infrastructure development, the rise of entrepreneurship, and investments in education and technology, we are entering the preconditions to take-off stage.’
Fourth-year medical student Nikhil Sankar sees this transformation as an opportunity for Guyana to become the industrial hub of the Caribbean. ‘We must strengthen public investment, build production capacity, and create a foundation for continuous job creation, economic growth, and an improved quality of life,’ he urged.
As President Ali’s second term unfolds, the nation is poised for take-off, with initiatives aimed at diversifying the economy, investing in human capital, and driving regional integration.
