Guyana has been recording extraordinary rates of real economic growth in recent years, averaging 39 per cent in the four years from 2021. But, the country’s Minister of Finance, Dr Ashni Singh, told the Business Guardian in an exclusive interview last Friday at his office in the capital Georgetown, that the “astronomic” growth has been achieved with a rate of inflation that has averaged below 5 per cent in the 2021 to 2024 period.
