BoG issues licence to Guyanese-owned merchant bank

Floyd Haynes

After more than two decades, the Central Bank of Guyana has issued a banking licence and it’s to the Guyanese-owned New Haven Inc. Merchant Bank which was launched last evening.

At the launch held at the Marriott Hotel, business professor, accountant, and financial analyst, Floyd Haynes, who leads the New Haven Inc team, told of his humble beginnings here in Guyana as he urged locals to persevere and take risks.

Haynes’ risk taking and confidence in the land of his birth was also lauded by President Irfaan Ali, who said it was just one example reaping the fruits of labour. “Floyd is willing to take risks and is Guyanese,” Ali said of the venture.
