Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo has lauded the impact of the government’s strategic investment programme on the country’s infrastructure and economy.
Speaking at the opening of the West Central Mall in Region 3, Dr. Jagdeo emphasized that the government’s economic philosophy is designed to benefit every citizen.
Since assuming office in 2020, the government has focused on reducing risks for investors and fostering a welcoming business environment. Dr. Jagdeo highlighted the progress made in a short period.
This policy, coupled with the reversal of over 200 taxes, has resulted in over 100 billion dollars in disposable income for citizens and the private sector.
Dr. Jagdeo emphasized a surge in infrastructure development in the capital city and affirmed the government’s commitment to extending this progress to every region.
Currently, Guyana is witnessing the construction of 75 kilometers of four-lane roads, seven hotels in Georgetown, and numerous roads across regions, including the East Bank and East Coast of Demerara, Linden, and various communities.
The government’s strategic investment programme is poised to continue its positive impact on the nation’s development.
