recorded a balance of approximately US$5.5 billion at the end of September 2026, reflecting the continued accumulation of revenues from the country\u2019s oil and gas industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\"

petroleum wealth, emphasising that resources from the NRF will continue to support national development and long-term economic sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government also maintained that investments financed through the fund are intended to improve the lives of Guyanese while preserving benefits for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its July 2026 Article IV Mission concluding statement, recognised the importance of Guyana\u2019s growing oil savings in strengthening the country\u2019s financial position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img
