GO-Invest and the Brazilian investment team

It made for encouraging news that the GO-Invest Chief Executive Officer Owen Verwey met with a sizeable group of Brazilians, potential investors we are told, at the Brazilian Cultural Centre earlier this week “to explore investment opportunities” in Guyana’s economy.

That is just the kind of exposure the agency needs, given what, up to this time, remains the strict limits that appear to have been placed on information emanating therefrom.

What was perhaps less encouraging is that the post-meeting briefing with Mr Verwey apparently took account only of the Government Information Agency (GINA) in circumstances where one feels that there is absolutely no good reason why the rest of the media houses could not have been invited.
