CDB hails Guyana's economic performance, lauds fiscal reforms, predicts further growth

THE Barbados-based financial institution, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), projects that Guyana, along with Suriname and Haiti, will take the lead amongst the regional economies, in terms of accelerating growth in the next two years.This is according to the CDB's President, Dr William Warren Smith, during the bank's annual press conference last Tuesday at its headquarters in Barbados. The bank has projected that the Caribbean Region will, in 2014, experience an overall growth of 3.7 per cent, with much of Guyana's growth being driven by its mining sector. Vibrant economy "Guyana is a good example of a country that has done some of the right things, and at the same time has also benefitted from good fortune. They have come a very, very long distance in terms of their fiscal situation. They have been responsible in terms of addressing it," Dr Smith said, adding: "Guyana has a very vibrant mining sector, and even though gold prices might be somewhat down at this particular point in time, there are still a lot of investments that are taking place in the mining sector generally, and in gold in particular. "Generally, there is a lot of vibrancy in the Guyanese economy. Just by casual observation, one can see that there is a lot of construction that is taking place in the country. I'd like to say that whenever I go to Guyana, you can almost see the country changing in front of your eyes, and so that is just a casual indication of the extent to which economic activity is vibrant and buoyant in that country," he told regional journalists Tuesday. Good lessons He went on to say that there were some very good lessons to be learnt from Guyana's experiences, as although Guyana has followed a very tough road, the good news is that it has shown resilience and responsibility in the management of its economy, in that it has taken advantage of the breaks it has been fortunate to have. "...and that is an important lesson, because, sometimes, countries which were in a much better position that Guyana in the past did not take advantage of those opportunities. So just from this standpoint of lesson learnt, Guyana is a study," Dr Smith said. Guyana, for the CDB, he said, also represents real opportunity, as "if we want to sustain ourselves as an institution, we have to have a very close working relationship with Guyana, because Guyana, Suriname the large countries represent opportunity for growth diversification and expansion; and that is very critical for the longevity and the sustainability of the Caribbean Development Bank." Guyana continues to benefit from its partnership with the financial institution, having been a founder-member since the institution came into being on January 26, 1970. In 2012, 33% of the US$166M in loan approvals by the institution was for projects in Guyana. "Even through the most difficult of times that Guyana has experienced through the years, Guyana has met its obligation to the Caribbean Development Bank, and we are very grateful for that," Dr Smith said. CDB funding in Guyana has been used for financing social and economic infrastructure such as schools, roads and water projects, building more disaster-resistant structures, community skills training and support for small and medium-sized enterprises.

APNU/AFC sabotages Guyana's economy with vote against Anti-Money Laundering Bill - Finance Minister

Order: Reorder
Duration: 35:26
Updated: 08 Nov 2013

IN a highly-charged debate with fierce representations on both sides of the House, Members of Parliament (MPs) wrangled over procedural issues in considering the third reading of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Amendment Bill, since there has never been a debate at the stage of a Bill's third reading. And eventually MPs moved to a vote that saw the joint-Opposition defeating the Bill, which cannot be considered again in this session of the National Assembly. Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, noted that it could be possible for ways to be found to bring the Bill back to the House, but added that there has to be a clear indication of support from the Opposition -- a reality he was very doubtful of. Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, in moving the motion for the Bill to be read for a third time and passed, urged MPs to consider the bigger picture and the consequences looming if the Bill is not passed. Prior to the vote, Speaker of the House, Raphael Trotman, met with Government and Opposition MPs, but no consensus position was reached, hence his call for the vote to proceed -- a call that was preceded by intense debate

Cheap power key to Guyana's development -- Former President Jagdeo

Order: Reorder
Duration: 22:06
Updated: 16 Aug 2013

THE debacle with the Amaila Falls Hydro Power (AFHP) Project has been described by former Head of State Bharrat Jagdeo as a significant loss to the entire nation due to 'partisanship and ignorance', as the opportunity for Guyana to press forward with its development has been scuppered. The recent pull out of major international partner Sithe Global, due to lack of political consensus, has placed the AFHP in jeopardy. Financial closure to the project with the Inter American Development Bank (IDB) was within reach, and the US$30M government funded road to the Region 8 site was expected to be completed by the end of this year. Delivering brief remarks during the closing of the National Economic Forum at the Guyana International Conference Centre yesterday, the former head of state said that some of those who opposed the transformational project employed 'charlatan economics' and cited the figures given by activists such as Christopher Ram, Ramon Gaskin and Professor Clive Thomas as being completely off the mark. "They killed the hydro because of that," he said. With respect to criticisms being touted of the debt that would be incurred and which would become the taxpayers' burden, he said, "There is not a single cent of debt, outside of the money that we are spending on the road and the equity that we are taking that will accrue to this country, and yet we heard that is too high a debt that we are worried about, that's why we didn't approve the project." The former president said that funds for projects such as those of the magnitude of AFHP were not easily available, and as such, it was a lost opportunity for the nation. He used the example of proposed changes by the United States of America's Federal Reserve in the way it may intervene in the stock market.
