The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has hailed the performance of the forestry commission in meeting the benchmarks for disbursal of the final tranche of payments from Norway under a bilateral deal and it also lauded the retiring Commissioner, James Singh.
In a statement yesterday, MNR said it was pleased to note the announcement of the final release of remaining payments under the Guyana Norway Agreement to a total of $9.1B.
While the money has been paid over, Norway has made it clear that it won’t be accessed until after the general elections on March 2nd, 2020.
