According to a Ministry of Public Works release yesterday, members of the banking association paid a courtesy call on the Minister within the Ministry, Deodat Indar, to discuss “financing options” available to borrowers who intend to pursue infrastructural projects in the coming years.
The visiting team included the Executive Director of the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI), Richard Isava; Executive Director, Bankers Association of Guyana, Steven Kissoon; and General Manager of Guyana/ American Merchant Bank, Pauline Singh. The Minister was supported by members of his staff including the Legal Advisor to the Ministry, Kiran Mattai.
