      Economy Guyana

      Economy - overview:

       The Guyanese economy has exhibited moderate economic growth in

       2001–02, based on expansion in the agricultural and mining sectors,

       a more favorable atmosphere for business initiatives, a more

       realistic exchange rate, fairly low inflation, and the continued

       support of international organizations. Chronic problems include a

       shortage of skilled labor and a deficient infrastructure. The

       government is juggling a sizable external debt against the urgent

       need for expanded public investment. The bauxite mining sector

       should benefit in the near term by restructuring and partial

       privatization.
