Guyana now `one of the fastest growing countries on the planet’ – visiting UK Deputy Trade Commissioner for LAC

At the conclusion of what he said were “very constructive” meetings with government officials during his visit here last week, Britain’s Deputy Trade Commissioner for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Spencer Mahoney struck an upbeat note on the UK’s perspective on the prospects for enhanced trade relations between the two countries. “The message was clear, Guyana is open for business. We want to make it easy for your companies to come and participate; we want it to be business to business and that is really good. In some parts of the world that is not the message from governments and there is, sometimes, inherent skepticism about what business can bring; but it feels that your government recognises that business brings unique skills, expertise, and value, that a country like Guyana needs to harness for its benefit. Guyana is open to this and I think that is really good,” Mahoney told the Stabroek Business in an exclusive interview at the conclusion of his assignment here.
