Guyana Economic Sector Information 2023
During this Global Gateway Economic Mission, “Team Europe”- bringing together the EU, its Member States and their financial and development institutions – will mobilise private sector companies from the European Union to explore investment opportunities and partnerships with businesses in Guyana.
This event is part of the Global Gateway, which is the European strategy to boost smart, clean and secure connections in digital, energy and transport sectors, and to strengthen health, education and research systems across the world. The Global Gateway aims to leverage investments and steer them towards the achievement of the UN’s Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
Guyana is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and a key player in tackling climate change. The moment is decisive for the country to further its fair green transition, in particular in the sectors highlighted in the EU-LAC Global Gateway Investment Agenda (GGIA) presented jointly by the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) at the EU-CELAC Summit in July 2023.
This agenda identifies concrete investment opportunities addressing the region’s infrastructure needs. For Guyana, the Global Gateway Investment Agenda focuses on Health, Climate, Energy and Regional Connectivity. These investments will be supported by accompanying measures creating a conducive regulatory and business environment, developing skills, and fostering innovation and technology transfers.
