In anticipation of this week’s International Energy Conference and Expo, which is being held from February 15 to February 18 at the Marriott Hotel at Kingston, the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) has organised a Benab Duty-Free Shop at the nearby Umana Yana, to showcase local products.

GMSA President Rafeek Khan told this newspaper that the duty-free shop will build exposure for a select number of local businesses responsible for processed and manufactured products and will allow investors to meet the owners and get to know their businesses.
