Trade between Guyana and Brazil has expanded sharply in recent years, opening fresh opportunities for investment, private-sector growth and regional integration, according to Dr Peter Ramsaroop, chief investment officer at the Guyana Office for Investment.

Ramsaroop said the rapid growth reflects a strengthening partnership between the two countries.

Brazil’s ambassador to Guyana, Maria Cristina de Castro Martins, noted that bilateral trade has climbed from about US$58 million in 2020 to roughly US$1 billion in 2026 — more than a sixteen-fold increase — describing it as a significant expansion in economic cooperation driven by demand in energy, mining, infrastructure and construction.
