Measures for private sector advancement in Govt’s development agenda

Dec 19, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) is pleased with the keen attention paid to measures geared at improving the development of entrepreneurship and private sector advancement as announced by His Excellency, Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali on December 17, 2025.

The planned establishment of a Junior Stock Exchange, the Guyana Development Bank, the national E-wallet, and special development zones reflect a forward-thinking approach that is focused on creating an enabling business landscape that is inclusive. The GCCI commends the move to prioritise micro enterprises, women-owned businesses, and persons living with disabilities.

Alongside these announcements, the Chamber eagerly anticipates the implementation of the flat tax on double cab pick-ups, which will improve access to appropriate transportation options for those businesses in the construction, agriculture, and logistics services. The GCCI remains committed to advocating for initiatives in the interest of the business community,

and will continue to collaborate with the government for the implementation of programmes that will propel the private sector forward.

Regards,
Georgetown Chamber of Commerce & Industry
