Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh yesterday announced that the budget for this year amounts to a historic, whopping $1.146 trillion when compared to $781. 9 billion last year.
He made the announcement during his marathon budget presentation themed “Staying the course building prosperity for all” at the 71st sitting of the National Assembly that saw frequent, sharp clashes between him and opposition hecklers.
According to Singh, Guyana’s real gross domestic product (GDP) is projected to grow by 34.3 per cent this year, while the non-oil economy is projected to rise by 11.9 per cent.
