Summary

Guyana’s economy has grown rapidly over the past two decades, progressing from low-middle-income to high-income status—the only Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative participant to achieve this milestone. Oil production is fast ramping up and, together with strong non-oil growth and large-scale infrastructure investment, it is supporting the highest real GDP growth rate in the world at a recorded average of 47 percent in 2022–24. The government is making significant investments, funded by oil revenue, to promote inclusive and sustainable development while striving for resilient growth. Fundamentals remain strong, with no clear signs of overheating, amid substantial accumulation of the oil revenue windfall in the Natural Resource Fund (NRF).
