What is now globally acknowledged to be Guyana’s vast oil wealth and the potential that this holds as a global magnet for lucrative significant external investment in the country’s economy has become the subject of energetic discourses at local business fora as well as at regional and international gatherings where, for expanding businesses, investment opportunities is a high priority. At the recent opening ceremony of the 19th Annual Conference of the Jamaica Stock Exchange, Angus Young, Chief Executive Officer of NCB Capital Markets, one of the leading FOREX Brokers in the hemisphere, waxed warm about Guyana as an investment haven for ambitious and enterprising fortune seekers. “Guyana is the place to be,” the business executive reportedly told the gathering, asserting that the ‘oil hotspot’ currently enjoys a near unchallenged reputation as “probably the fastest growing country in the western hemisphere” having grown by an estimated 39 percent in 2023. A similar level of growth is anticipated this year.
