Seemingly concerned over the likelihood that increased consumer demand may scale up local spending over a broad range of consumer goods, the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has sounded its voice over what it appears to regard as the non-compliance by some traders with local laws and regulations relating to the quality standards that apply in the trading of consumer goods. The Chamber has commented publicly on what it believes to be an increase in the presence of counterfeit, expired, and inappropriately labelled goods and what it appears to see as an inclination towards consumer spending which, in some instances, would appear to be less mindful of prudent judgment in the choice of goods which not only transgress laid down quality regulations but also, in some instances, poses health hazards to consumers.
