While acknowledging that there has been a slight downturn in business, due primarily to falling commodity prices and unemployment, Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin yesterday insisted that Guyana’s economy is not in crisis and government has a long-term plan for development.
“Our economy is not in any sort of crisis…there is a long-term vision for Guyana that has evolved from our experiences and from the experiences of other countries into something that we can all proudly own and work towards achieving,” Gaskin told attendees at a business luncheon organised by the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) at the Pegasus Hotel.
“Our government will prioritise the long-term sustainable development of Guyana’s economy; and our government would like to do this in partnership with a strong and independent private sector,” he added.
