The Guyana government says the establishment of the World Trade Centre Georgetown (WTCG) provides a ‘timely and visionary step’ in Guyana’s development trajectory. ‘We envision a Guyana where a producer can load up a lorry and take goods directly to Suriname or Brazil, where trade flows freely and efficiently across our region,’ Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh said, adding the launch of the WTCG coincides with a period of unprecedented economic growth and expanding global trade opportunities for Guyana.
