(Kaieteur News) – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has urged Guyana to address labour shortages, expand employment opportunities and strengthen food security as the country seeks to diversify its rapidly growing economy beyond oil.
In its latest Article IV consultation report on Guyana, released on October 8, the Fund said broader diversification efforts should focus on strengthening human capital, expanding employment opportunities, addressing labour shortages and improving food security.
The recommendations come as Guyana’s economy continues to grow rapidly, fuelled by expanding oil production and robust activity in non-oil sectors, including construction, agriculture, mining and manufacturing.
