Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh urges Guyanese companies to grow beyond the domestic market and work toward becoming regional conglomerates. Speaking at the Private Sector Commission’s (PSC) 34th Annual General Meeting in Georgetown, Singh makes the case that local firms should pursue opportunities outside Guyana rather than focus only on the home market.
Both outlets report that Singh also links regional expansion with higher performance standards at home. He challenges businesses to improve service delivery as they scale, positioning themselves to compete more broadly in the region.
According to the Guyana Chronicle, Singh frames the push as a forward-looking strategy for companies to prepare for a more competitive, cross-border environment. INews Guyana similarly describes the address as being delivered on behalf of President Irfaan Ali at the AGM.
The reports present the remarks as part of broader engagement between the government and the private sector, encouraging firms to expand their reach while maintaining or raising service quality in Guyana.
