Speakers: Hamish Clegg and Alice Carroll 

Guyana’s has risen from a quiet agriculture and mining based British colony to catching up with Brazil’s oil production by 2025. It is the third smallest and only English-speaking country in South America with a population of only 800,000. Its main exports - rice, shrimp, sugar, aluminium, bauxite and gold - are about to be dwarfed by the new offshore oil sector which will begin production in 2020. By 2025 it could exceed Brazil’s oil production and provide Guyana with the world’s highest per capita income. It is therefore an ideal time to learn more about the country and is exciting business opportunities.

The briefing will address:

• Introduction to Guyana’s economy and politics
• Guyana’s rise to power through resources
• Guyana’s challenges as an emerging economy
• Ways to invest in Guyana’s economy
