GCCI urges foreign investors to ensure local businesses are utilised in their supply chain 

See full statement from the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry:

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has noted growing concerns over the exclusion of local businesses in supply chains across various industries, as such, the GCCI is urging foreign investors to ensure that local businesses are utilised in their supply chain.

The Chamber has remained a staunch advocate for the utilisation of local businesses and the Guyanese work force, and this has remained a fundamental point in our calls for foreign investors to expand their operations in Guyana. The participation of Guyanese in the extraction and development of the country’s natural resources, and opportunities arising from Guyana’s economic development must not be circumvented—local participation remains crucial to the development of the country and its people.

As such, the GCCI is urging foreign investors not to exclude locals from opportunities that arise from their operations in Guyana.
