Why Guyana?
Opportunities Abound
-
Guyana is the only English-speaking country in South America, and it offers a unique gateway for exports and investment into the Caribbean and northern Brazil.
-
The country maintains strong cultural and political ties to the Caribbean and is home to the CARICOM Secretariat in Georgetown.
-
Best known for its transformational oil discoveries—with 46 finds to date—Guyana also boasts fertile agricultural land, valuable minerals (like bauxite and gold), and over 80% forest cover, making it a net-zero carbon sink.
-
In 2024, Guyana’s real GDP growth reached 43.6%, with oil production projected to increase to 1.2 million barrels per day by 2030.
-
Beyond oil, the Guyanese government is actively diversifying into infrastructure, agriculture, health, and renewables, including solar and small-scale hydroelectric development in rural and hinterland regions.
-
Significant investments are also being made in modernizing the country’s aged power infrastructure—creating critical opportunities across the energy value chain.
