Our Gold, Guyana, and our Future

Oct 10, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

Gold reserves are physical gold held by national central banks to act as a financial safety net, supporting national currency value and providing a buffer against economic instability. (Google.com)

Now, with all the news gold is making and with the historical record-breaking performance of breaking the US$4000 barrier for the first time in history, it leaves a lot to wonder, and yes, also to be excited about.

However, I would like for us to think of the long term and what happens when these prices fall, or when we in ‘hard times’, etc.

So, growing up I have seen many movies, read about and listened to the news about America and its gold reserve. I also learnt in school that gold is one of Guyana’s main resources and earner of foreign currency, and is of high quality.

As a concerned citizen, I would really appreciate if someone with the relevant authority would respond to this question, since I am sure that I may not be the only person with such a question.

So here is my question; ‘Why doesn’t Guyana have a gold reserve with all the gold we produce?’

With regards,
Seth Sampson
