Introduction
As indicated last week, starting with today’s column, I shift focus away from offering readers data and analytics rooted in instructional guidance on the political economy of Guyana’s emerging oil and gas. Henceforth, my primary thrust will be on timely intervention on arising issues. In essence my time horizon will shift from mostly longer-term learning objectives to the cut and thrust of ongoing exchanges. Readers may query the shift. My rationale is that this acknowledges the sector’s survival of the 2020 general crisis, along with its maturation over time.
