At a time when local business houses are not averse to openly frowning on what they say is the underperformance of business support organizations (BSOs) the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) says it believes its agenda is moving ever closer to meeting some of the critical needs of the business community.
Calls, unheeded so far by the APNU+AFC administration for a lowering of VAT rates, customs bottlenecks and the need for more government support for the small business sector are high on the agenda of issues over which the business community frets frequently. But the Chamber’s President Vishnu Doerga told Stabroek Business recently that the organization’s forward-looking leadership team refuses to allow challenges to stand in the way of its mission to serve its members.
