Introduction
Today’s column wraps-up my highlighting of the role of governance of Guyana’s emerging oil and gas sector as an indicator of its prevailing condition. Readers should recall that this engagement with governance is the tenth and final such indicator that I have relied on, in order to draw a reliable appraisal of the prevailing state of Guyana’s emerging petroleum-driven economy. The column focuses on recent efforts to measure the state of governance. It spotlights the Natural Resource Governance Institute, NRGI, measurement of governance in Guyana and to a much lesser extent the efforts of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, EITI.
