Action plan for improved investment climate to be rolled out over next two years

Against the backdrop of questions that continue to arise about Guyana’s state of preparedness to significantly raise the quality of its response to external investment enquiries, Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin told a gathering of regional entrepreneurs that Guyana is now ready to put in motion a plan to make it easier for potential investors to do business here.

“…We at the Ministry of Business have made it one of our priorities to make Guyana an easier place to do business. We have developed an action plan of doing business reforms which will be rolled out over the next two years and will bring significant improvements to the ease of doing business in Guyana. It’s fairly comprehensive and relies on a number of agencies to collaborate and in some cases amend and introduce legislation to change and improve the way certain things are done,” Gaskin told Monday’s Republic Bank-hosted Trade Mission to Guyana, an event designed to create links between the local business community and the bank’s business clients in Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname and Barbados.
