While the share of the Guyanese population using the internet has risen significantly it remains below the benchmark averages of Latin America and the Caribbean as a whole.
This is according to the latest Inter-American Development Bank’s (IDB) Carib-bean Quarterly Economic bulletin which focused on closing the digital access gap and the benefits that this would bring to Guyana and the rest of the region.
Closing the digital access gap between the Caribbean and the more advanced economies could increase the region’s GDP by about 6 to 12 percent over the medium term and provide a strong boost to a post-COVID-19 recovery, the bulletin said.
