Stakeholders in the local Private Sector recently engaged the Guyana Government to review a number of key trade and tariff matters that are affecting the country’s manufacturing sector.

During the meeting on Wednesday, Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Hugh Todd, and senior Ministry trade advisors held discussions on areas of concerns raised by officials from the Private Sector Commission (PSC) and the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA).

There was also a briefing on the outcomes from the 62nd Meeting of the Caribbean Community’s Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED), including discussions on the Caricom Single Market and Economy (CSME), regional supply chains and tariff regimes under Article 164. The COTED meeting was held at the Caricom Secretariat in Georgetown back in June.
