Key Economic Drivers
-
Oil and Gas Production: Since the discovery of significant offshore oil reserves in 2015, Guyana has rapidly increased its oil output. In 2024, oil production averaged 616,000 barrels per day, establishing the country as the fifth-largest crude exporter in Latin America. This surge in production led to a 43.6% economic growth in 2024.
-
Diversification Efforts: Beyond oil, Guyana is investing in agriculture, infrastructure, and renewable energy. The agriculture sector, including rice and sugar production, is projected to expand by 11.4% in 2025. Significant infrastructure projects, such as new highways and bridges, are also underway to support this growth.
Factors Contributing to Economic Success:
-
Strategic Investments: The government’s focus on diversifying the economy has led to substantial investments in various sectors, reducing reliance on oil revenues and promoting sustainable growth.
-
Favorable Business Environment: Policies aimed at improving the ease of doing business, coupled with tax incentives, have attracted foreign direct investment, bolstering economic activities across multiple industries
