Amid delay in a key loan being finalized, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has written to the United States EXIM Bank expressing support for the bank’s financing of the huge gas-to-shore project.
In so doing GCCI is dismissing concerns raised by civil society members here that the bank should not fund the project, while positing that the aim of the signatories of the those letters is to stymie progress here.
“Consequently, the GCCI wishes to express our deep concern and strong condemnation of certain attempts by a small minority of individuals to discredit the project and discourage the EXIM Bank from providing financial support for this landmark project,” a letter from the GCCI to President of the US EXIM Bank Reta Jo Lewis, stated.
