SENIOR Minister in the Office of the President with Responsibility for Finance Dr Ashni Singh and International Finance Corporation (IFC) Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean, Mr Alfonso Garcia Mora, recently signed an agreement aimed at strengthening private-sector support. The agreement was signed during the 2026 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group (WBG) in Washington DC, United States of America. The agreement will pave the way for expanded engagement by the WBG in support of local private-sector development and strengthen the WBG’s ability to work closely with the private sector to play its part in promoting more resilient and inclusive economic growth and development. Minister Singh, who signed on behalf of the Government of Guyana, expressed appreciation to the IFC for its support to the local private sector, but reiterated the need for more tangible results to be demonstrated by the IFC’s efforts, especially if they are to play a meaningful role in this period of rapid expansion in the domestic economy (Photo: Ashni Singh)
