Gov’t studying rising cost of living – Jagdeo

As Guyanese continue to battle the rising cost of living, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo on Friday said government has been continuously analysing the situation to implement appropriate measures.

Though he didn’t say if working class Guyanese can expect any new announcement soon, Jagdeo hinted that plans are in place for a special package being crafted for pensioners.

He stated that through various relief packages already distributed, the government has given up some $40 billion annually of income.
