…ink 4 MoUs to collaborate in financial services, other areas

As Guyana moves to set up a junior stock exchange, the country will be turning to its Caribbean partner, Jamaica, to learn from their experience and integrate resources to support both countries. This was revealed by President Dr Irfaan Ali on Friday following the signing of four Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) that will further strengthen bilateral cooperation between Guyana and Jamaica. He witnessed the inking of the agreements alongside Jamaican Prime Minister (PM) Dr Andrew Holness, who was on a two-day state visit in Georgetown.

These MoUs were signed by Foreign Affairs Minister Hugh Todd and his Jamaican counterpart, Senator Kamina Johnson-Smith, focusing on four main areas of cooperation: the protocol amending the agreement on economic, technical and cultural cooperation; agricultural cooperation; defence and security cooperation; and the development of financial services between the two Governments.
