Guyana’s strong economy helping to keep inflation in check – IMF

Monetary operations, alongside fiscal and supply-side measures, have helped contain liquidity and exchange rate pressures in Guyana and cushion the effects of higher prices, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reported, while warning that inflation is expected to increase in 2026.

In its October 8, 2026, report following the conclusion of its Article IV Consultation with Guyana, the Fund said economic fundamentals remained strong, with available indicators showing no clear signs of overheating or competitiveness pressures.

However, it cautioned that strong wage growth and movements in the real exchange rate based on wages warranted continued monitoring as economic activity remained robust.
