Guyana’s Natural Resource Fund (NRF) recorded a balance of approximately US$5.5 billion at the end of September 2026, reflecting the continued accumulation of revenues from the country’s oil and gas industry.
Senior Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh, disclosed the figure on Wednesday while presenting a notification to the National Assembly detailing petroleum revenues deposited into the fund between July 1 and September 30, 2026.
In a statement, the government reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and accountability in managing the country’s petroleum wealth, emphasising that resources from the NRF will continue to support national development and long-term economic sustainability.
The government also maintained that investments financed through the fund are intended to improve the lives of Guyanese while preserving benefits for future generations.
Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its July 2026 Article IV Mission concluding statement, recognised the importance of Guyana’s growing oil savings in strengthening the country’s financial position.
The IMF noted that the accumulation of petroleum revenues is helping Guyana build financial reserves, while investments in infrastructure, healthcare and education are contributing to economic growth beyond the oil sector.
