Coming soon... Investment Outlook for Guyana (1st edition by SphereX Analytics/JB

31/03/2022

This author is profoundly taken aback by the threat by the CARICOM Private Sector organization to challenge Guyana’s Local Content Act. In what appeared to be a leaked email, the Executives of that body are contending that the legislation appear to violate several provisions of the Revised treaty of Chaguaramas.

Following this, the CPSO issued a poorly constructed damage control press release on January 13th 2022 which failed to highlight the specific Articles in the Treaty that are violated.

Budget 2022 is the largest budget in Guyana’s history and the first to draw down from the oil revenues sitting in the Natural Resource Fund (NRF) that was recently passed in the National Assembly.

During the budget debates, a few commentators, observers and opposition parliamentarians put forward the argument that budget 2022 will induce the Dutch disease or resource curse syndrome.

This author is contending, however, that budget 2022, by and large, lays the foundation to avoid the paradoxical resource curse and Dutch disease syndrome. Hence, this article seeks to address this notion and assess whether this is indeed the case against the backdrop of the provisions in the budget.
