With Guyana, having, in recent years, established credentials as the region’s favoured location for the staging of events linked to burnishing the region’s business profile, the Caribbean Export Development Agency has recently announced that Georgetown, the country’s capital, will play host to the event this year.
The disclosure amounts to a vote of confidence in the country’s credentials to host an event that brings together high-profile business officials from across the Caribbean, North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa and elsewhere, keen to further probe Guyana’s credentials as a prospective world class investment haven, given its new-found credentials as an emerging petro state. Guyana follows Trinidad (2022) and The Bahamas (2023) in hosting the event, one of the key criterion being that the hosts to the forum provide the strongest investment credentials likely to get the attention of the ‘high-flying’ international business community.
