Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh met with members of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG), on Thursday, as part of Government’s ongoing efforts to engage all stakeholders in the course of preparations of Budget 2014.
The Minister thanked FITUG for the several constructive suggestions and recommendations it has made over the years and which have informed Government policy on a number of important issues.

He also acknowledged the forthright positions taken by FITUG on issues of national importance, including the condemnation of the Budget cuts imposed by the Opposition in previous years, which have since been ruled to be unconstitutional by the Chief Justice (Ag).
Thursday’s discussions were frank and fruitful. They dealt with a number of issues of interest to the membership of FITUG and of relevance to overall economic and social development in Guyana.
Government will continue to engage other stakeholders over the coming days and weeks as part of ongoing efforts to receive the views of all parties on issues which will impact Guyana’s economic prosperity.
Dr Ashni Singh said that Government remains fortified in the commitment that has guided its preceding terms of office to implement policies, programmes and projects required to realize a modern and prosperous Guyana. Government also remains resolute in working with all stakeholders that share a common vision for economic growth and development as part of the Budget 2014 preparations.
