Bank of America eyes prospects here

Irfaan Ali

Government has expressed to two American banks that it prefers to have a major United States commercial financial operation here, President Irfaan Ali said, even as he expressed that the Bank of America (BoA) representatives seemed upbeat during the meeting he held with them last week.

“They were totally enthusiastic about Guyana and they were ‘gung-ho’ on Guyana. They were telling us about all the prospects they’re seeing and how viable [they were],” Ali told a press conference he hosted on Saturday morning, two days after the meeting with Bank of America representatives. 

Government on Thursday met with Bank of America representatives who were here on an exploratory mission. The representatives also met with the private sector.
