Guyana’s economy has been rapidly growing due to recent offshore oil discoveries, alongside traditional sectors like agriculture, mining (gold and bauxite), and forestry. Government policies emphasize infrastructure development and equitable wealth distribution from oil revenues. Regulatory frameworks are improving but require strengthening in transparency and environmental protection. Society is multicultural but faces income inequality. Education access is growing, with a focus on developing skills for the oil and gas sector. Climate risks, including rising sea levels and flooding, threaten agriculture and coastal infrastructure. Healthcare services are improving but remain under-resourced in rural areas.
