President, Irfaan Ali on Sunday announced that all Guyanese will soon be able to invest in major national assets, with the first being a fertiliser factory that will be established in Region Three to process resources from the gas-to-energy project. During a public meeting at Canal No. 2 Polder on the West Bank of Demerara, Ali assured, “Everybody will have a chance to invest.”
At the meeting, President Ali was accompanied by Minister of Housing and Water, Colin Croal; Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand; Minister within the Ministry of Public Works, Deodat Indar; former PNC/R Central Committee Executive, Thandi McAllister, among other officials. There, he explained that this new model of wealth creation for Guyana has the potential to transform the nation’s economic landscape and ensure all Guyanese benefit from the country’s progress.
President Ali told the residents that the investment opportunities would cater to small, medium, and large-scale initiatives and generate higher returns for the ordinary Guyanese.
“That is a big task before us. The next five years is to build and create these opportunities that will generate wealth at the individual, household, community, region, and national levels,” he stated.
Along with the fertilizer factory, Ali said, “The national gas company which is expected to be formed later is another investment vehicle that will allow Guyanese to tap into Guyana’s booming economy.”
Ali said these efforts will be supported by increased grants and widespread financial literacy campaigns to promote responsible investment.” (Modified from DPI)
