World Bank Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean, Carlos Felipe Jaramillo and Country Director for the Caribbean, Lilia Burunciuc, completed their first official visit to Guyana yesterday and pledged to make a real impact on improving the lives of people here.
A release from the World Bank commended the progress made by the government towards COVID-19 recovery, noting that over 51 per cent of Guyana’s adult population has received the first dose of a coronavirus vaccine. The two officials also discussed how the World Bank could support the Government’s plan to create a more enabling environment for the private sector and improved living standards for citizens here.
