The Private Sector Commission (PSC) and representatives of Guyana’s bottled water industry agree to pursue a public-private approach to lower the price of bottled water for consumers. The plan focuses on reducing production costs while supporting local manufacturing, with the intention that any savings achieved are passed on to buyers.
Both outlets report the agreement is reached following further engagements held on Wednesday involving Minister of Public Utilities and Aviation Deodat Indar. INews Guyana and the Guyana Chronicle describe the initiative as a collaborative process between the PSC and industry stakeholders. While neither outlet provides detailed figures or specific policy mechanisms in the excerpts shared, both frame the discussions around cost reduction in manufacturing and ensuring that lower costs translate into lower shelf prices.
