The Government of Guyana is preparing to launch a new initiative focused on engaging the diaspora in the development of the country. President Dr. Irfaan Ali made this announcement on Tuesday evening, emphasizing the potential contributions that Guyanese living abroad can make.
As part of this initiative, the government plans to introduce a Diaspora Bond, which is expected to be launched within a week. This bond aims to provide an opportunity for overseas-based Guyanese to invest in their home country, thereby facilitating economic growth and development.
President Ali highlighted the significance of the diaspora’s involvement, stating that this represents a substantial opportunity for them to contribute to the nation’s progress. The government acknowledges the wealth of resources and expertise that exists within the diaspora and intends to leverage this potential for the benefit of Guyana.
Further details regarding the Diaspora Bond and the specific mechanisms for participation are expected to be announced soon. The government is looking to strengthen its connection with citizens living overseas through this initiative.
This effort reflects a broader strategy aimed at enhancing investment in Guyana and promoting sustainable development through collaborative efforts with the diaspora community.
