Oil find will not see turning from ‘green economy’ goal, Granger says

President David Granger

The strong likelihood that the growth of Guyana’s economy will be driven by what are now the country’s proven significant hydrocarbon reserves will not deflect his administration from the pursuit of its ‘green economy’ goals, President David Granger has said.

Asserting that “there is no shadow of turning from our path of becoming a green state,” the Head of State said future oil revenues will be pressed into service “to develop green technologies including green energy options that will lower the cost of production in the manufacturing sector and improve the delivery of public services to the people.”
