President David Granger told Parliament today that 2016 presents a new opportunity for Guyana to “hasten economic development” by diversifying the traditional sectors and getting into more value-added enterprises, a release from the Ministry of the Presidency said.
“It is time for a fresh start – a new beginning. It is time to redouble our efforts to eradicate poverty. Our government is committed to promoting sustained economic growth with enhanced distributive justice so that inequalities are reduced and opportunities are increased,” the President said, in his fourth address to the Eleventh Parliament, since he took Office in May 2015.
