At 63 percent, the service sector is responsible for the biggest share of income of the Guyana economy. Made up of 11 different groups of activities, the service sector embraces almost everything of social and economic importance: transportation, storage, communication, information, distribution, health, education, electricity, water, real estate services, financial services, public service, safety and security.
