Macro Framework 330 3 $aThe economy has experienced seven consecutive years of robust growth, buoyed by high commodity prices, foreign direct investment and expansion of private sector credit. As part of a strategy to sustain growth, reduce poverty and curtail dependence on imported oil, the authorities are pursuing the Amaila Falls Hydro-electric Project (AFHP), entailing investment of about 30 percent of GDP. However, steps by Parliament that delayed important approvals led the private sector partner to withdraw, which could delay the project while additional financing is sought. Meanwhile, public debt remains high?around 60 percent of GDP?limiting the room to finance inclusive growth. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2014/294 606 $aEconomic indicators$zGuyana 606 $aEconomic forecasting$zGuyana 606 $aFinancial risk management$zGuyana 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aStatistics$2imf 606 $aIndustries: Financial Services$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aInternational Lending and Debt Problems$2imf 606 $aPublic Enterprises$2imf 606 $aPublic-Private Enterprises$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology$2imf 606 $aComputer Programs: Other$2imf 606 $aCurrent Account Adjustment$2imf 606 $aShort-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aCivil service & public sector$2imf 606 $aEconometrics & economic statistics$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aPublic sector$2imf 606 $aExternal debt$2imf 606 $aCurrent account deficits$2imf 606 $aImports$2imf 606 $aEconomic sectors$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aInternational trade$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aDebts, External$2imf 606 $aFinance, Public$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 607 $aGuyana$xEconomic conditions 607 $aGuyana$xEconomic policy 607 $aGuyana$2imf 615 0$aEconomic indicators 615 0$aEconomic forecasting 615 0$aFinancial risk management 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aStatistics 615 7$aIndustries: Financial Services 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aInternational Lending and Debt Problems 615 7$aPublic Enterprises 615 7$aPublic-Private Enterprises 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology 615 7$aComputer Programs: Other 615 7$aCurrent Account Adjustment 615 7$aShort-term Capital Movements 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aCivil service & public sector 615 7$aEconometrics & economic statistics 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aPublic sector 615 7$aExternal debt 615 7$aCurrent account deficits 615 7$aImports 615 7$aEconomic sectors 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aInternational trade 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aDebts, External 615 7$aFinance, Public 615 7$aFinance 676 $a330.988103 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826449703321 996 $aGuyana$92642579 997 $aUNINA
