President Irfaan Ali yesterday, chided the local private sector for not being in a state of readiness to take advantage of the opportunities presented to it.
Ali, who was delivering the keynote address at the opening of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Business Development Forum, discarded his prepared speech and fashioned his address in response to calls made by GCCI’s President Timothy Tucker.
During his address, Tucker said that the two-day Business Development Forum happening at the Pegasus Corporate Centre will explore five thematic areas – access to finance, opportunities for business, improving standards and quality, doing business in Guyana and marketing fundamentals – during its panel discussions.
