As the national agency mandated to promote and facilitate private sector investment and exports, the Guyana Office for Investment plays a central role in advancing the country’s economic transformation. Its participation in CEW 2027 underscores Guyana’s commitment to fostering international partnerships while showcasing a diverse portfolio of investment opportunities across energy, infrastructure and sustainable development.

Guyana has emerged as a standout growth story in recent years, recording economic expansion of more than 19.3% in 2025, with projections of 16.2% in 2026. This growth is underpinned by significant offshore oil discoveries, with over 11 billion barrels of recoverable resources placing the country among the highest reserves per capita globally. At the same time, Guyana’s resource base extends well beyond hydrocarbons, encompassing gold, bauxite, diamonds, timber and vast areas of fertile land, positioning the country as a multi-sector investment destination.

Through its Invest 2030 framework, the Guyana Office for Investment is actively promoting opportunities aligned with national development priorities. In energy security, Guyana continues to expand its oil and gas sector – marked by 260 crude oil lifts in 2025 – while advancing renewable energy deployment, adding 186 MW of capacity over the past four years, alongside ongoing power grid modernization and downstream manufacturing development.

Climate security also represents a core pillar of Guyana’s investment strategy. Through its Low Carbon Development Strategy 2030, the country is positioning itself as a global leader in sustainable forestry, carbon credit markets and climate-resilient infrastructure.

Complementing this is a broader globalization agenda focused on enhancing trade access and leveraging duty-free advantages, supported by a strong local content framework with more than 1,100 companies registered under the Local Content Act.

Investors are further supported by a business-friendly environment characterized by generous fiscal incentives, a streamlined single-window system for business registration and licensing and a strong local content framework designed to ensure broad-based economic participation. Major infrastructure developments, including the transformative Gas-to-Energy project, are also reinforcing the country’s long-term competitiveness and industrial capacity.

“We are pleased to collaborate with the Guyana Office for Investment at CEW 2027, as the country continues to set the pace for economic growth and energy development globally. Guyana’s dynamic investment landscape and forward-looking strategy make it a critical voice in shaping the future of the Caribbean energy sector,” said Sandra Jeque, Vice President of event organizers Energy Capital & Power.

CEW returns to Guyana for its second edition in July 2027, convening industry leaders, policymakers and investors to drive the next phase of the region’s energy growth. From upstream development to energy transition strategies, the event will spotlight the opportunities shaping the Caribbean’s evolving energy landscape.
