The Alliance for Change (AFC) has hailed Minister of Finance Winston Jordan for stellar works in his sector and urged that Guyanese start preparations for a nearing boom in the economy.
“As we said, we are urging Guyanese to prepare for brighter days and a growing economy,” Minister of Business Dominic Gaskin said at the AFC’s weekly press conference on Friday.
The APNU+AFC coalition government is currently executing plans to compile and track data across all sectors, which would see the revamping of the National Bureau of Statistics.
Speaking under both portfolios of AFC Executive and Minister of Business, Gaskin argued that while some persons are saying that the economy is not growing, the facts show that the slowdown was due to external factors, but this country is still meeting growth targets set.
He pointed to economic data and current events in neighbouring countries saying that even with all the “stresses” Jordan was able to plan a budget which includes implementing solid economic measures.
