IDB crafting framework for Guyana green economy

Stating  that economic growth here over 10 years has not resulted in better living standards, the IDB says it will be working on a modern national strategy and planning framework for Guyana’s green economy  as part of its  2017 to 2021 plan which also paints a bleak picture of the country’s capacity to implement projects and cites gross infrastructural deficiencies

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) strategy was recently approved by its board and yesterday released to the public. As part of the proposed national strategy, the bank will also focus activities on promoting Guyana’s economic diversification efforts and furthering modern industrial policies

Activities will also focus on bolstering fiscal policies and the framework for managing Guyana’s natural resource revenues.
