Macro FrameworkThe economy has experienced seven consecutive years of robust growth, buoyed by high commodity prices, foreign direct investment and expansion of private sector credit. As part of a strategy to sustain growth, reduce poverty and curtail dependence on imported oil, the authorities are pursuing the Amaila Falls Hydro-electric Project (AFHP), entailing investment of about 30 percent of GDP. However, steps by Parliament that delayed important approvals led the private sector partner to withdraw, which could delay the project while additional financing is sought. Meanwhile, public debt remains high—around 60 percent of GDP—limiting the room to finance inclusive growth.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2014/294Economic indicatorsGuyanaEconomic forecastingGuyanaFinancial risk managementGuyanaBanks and BankingimfExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfStatisticsimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfPublic EnterprisesimfPublic-Private EnterprisesimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyimfComputer Programs: OtherimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfInternational economicsimfPublic finance & taxationimfCivil service & public sectorimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfBankingimfPublic debtimfPublic sectorimfExternal debtimfCurrent account deficitsimfImportsimfEconomic sectorsimfBalance of paymentsimfInternational tradeimfDebts, PublicimfDebts, ExternalimfFinance, PublicimfFinanceimfGuyanaEconomic conditionsGuyanaEconomic policyGuyanaimfEconomic indicatorsEconomic forecastingFinancial risk managementBanks and BankingExports and ImportsMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceStatisticsIndustries: Financial ServicesDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsPublic EnterprisesPublic-Private EnterprisesBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyComputer Programs: OtherCurrent Account AdjustmentShort-term Capital MovementsInternational economicsPublic finance & taxationCivil service & public sectorEconometrics & economic statisticsBankingPublic debtPublic sectorExternal debtCurrent account deficitsImportsEconomic sectorsBalance of paymentsInternational tradeDebts, PublicDebts, ExternalFinance, PublicFinance330.988103DcWaIMFBOOK9910826449703321Guyana2642579UNINA
