The Government of Guyana is contemplating participation in a major December 6 regional forum in Jamaica to discuss ways of attracting more business from international companies to the Caribbean, Business Minister Dominic Gaskin has told Stabroek Business.
In an invited comment earlier this week on the likelihood of Guyana being represented at the region’s first ever Outsource to the Caribbean Conference (OCC), Gaskin said the government’s participation in the forum being staged by the Barbados-based Caribbean Export Development could depend on the preparedness of the local private sector to join government officials at the forum. “We are aware of the event and Go-Invest is considering participation but will only do it if it can stimulate sufficient interest from the local industry.” Local Business Support organizations have been sensitized about the forum though Gaskin said that his Ministry is yet to receive confirmation from those organizations.
