Projecting that he will be re-elected in 2025, President Irfaan Ali on Friday said that the country will be exporting corn and soya by 2027 and he stressed the importance of digitization.

Speaking at the Canada–Guyana Chamber of Commerce Maple Leaf Ball at the Marriott Hotel, Ali spoke extensively about the future of Guyana and the importance of digitization. He asserted that Guyana in 2030 will be a country that will lead the world on climate security, be a part of every single major leadership table on energy security and hold a leadership position on food security. 

According to the President, the next seven years will be spent positioning the country to ensure that the economy in 2030 and beyond is one that is sustainable, resilient, competitive, versatile, and well-diversified adding that it will not be an economy that is driven by oil and gas but rather supported by it, and where every other sector will be built based on its revenue stream.
