Dear Sir,
The Guyana Office for Investment (GO-Invest) welcomes the publication of this new supplement, the Guyana Chronicle Economic Review. We commend the Board and editorial staff of the Guyana National Newspapers Limited for this initiative.

In the most dynamic developing economies in the world today, namely China, India and Brazil, new entrepreneurs and the general public can access, through many publications, feature articles that analyze what is happening in their business sectors. They learn about the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in their countries and region and about the triumphs and struggles behind some of those entities that emerge on top. This information has helped to encourage thinking, learning and creativity among young men and women who are establishing or want to create new business ventures.

In Guyana today, there are many success stories among the hundreds and hundreds of large, medium, small and micro businesses. Yet the perception exists that “nothing is happening”. Why? The primary reason in our view is that there is little information sharing among and about businesses, and other economic-related activity in the country.

How much do we know, for example, about E-Networks Incorporated, Broadband Incorporated and Global Technology and their young owners, Mr. Persaud, Mr. Yong and Mr. Melville, two of whom remigrated from the USA in order to contribute directly to Guyana’s development? How much do we know about Jerlon Pork Limited and Jack’s Farm and their young owners, Mr. London and Mr. Jack? Do we know about the group of women in the Pomeroon who persevered over 5 years, overcame many challenges, and successfully established a modern food processing facility in Charity? And there are hundreds more like them.

We look forward to a long life for the Review and you can count on our support.
Yours truly,
Mr. Geoff Da Silva
CEO
