-in aftermath of US$527m loan approval
Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) President and Chair Reta Jo Lewis will visit Guyana January 9 – 12, 2025 to highlight the EXIM Board of Directors’ recent approval of US$527 million in financing to support a gas-to-energy project that will double the country’s installed electricity capacity.
A release yesterday from the US Embassy said that the project will help Guyana transition to more reliable and cleaner energy for consumers and businesses, while supporting 1,500 American jobs.
It will also unlock economic growth potential for U.S. and Guyanese companies of all sizes, the release added. Lewis will meet with President Irfaan Ali, senior Guyanese officials, and business leaders to discuss the project and future opportunities for U.S. and Guyanese companies to partner for the benefit of the American and Guyanese people.
The Export-Import Bank of the United States is the nation’s official export credit agency with the mission of supporting American jobs by facilitating U.S. exports.
