Versterking economische banden hoog op agenda Suriname-Guyana handelskamer – Parbode Sneak Peek

De Suriname-Guyana Kamer van Koophandel (Suriname-Guyana Chamber of Commerce, SGCC) bestaat pas sinds februari, maar de jonge handelskamer hield reeds diverse activiteiten om de handels- en investeringsmogelijkheden tussen Guyana en Suriname te bevorderen. Zo deed de SGCC mee met de Suriname Energy Oil and Gas Summit and Exhibition 2024 en reisde er een grote, speciale delegatie bestaande uit vertegenwoordigers van diverse grote Guyanese bedrijven af naar Suriname. Na afloop van de SEOGS 2024 hield de bilaterale kamer op zaterdag 8 juni een netwerkevenement in Royal Breeze Hotel.

De Guyanese ambassadeur in Suriname, Virjanand Depoo, is evenals Liselle Blankendal, de Surinaamse ambassadeur in Guyana, erelid van de SGCC. ‘Let me begin by first saying, wow, an entire week of conferencing, and you still have the energy to be here this afternoon. So I want to congratulate you’, begon Depoo zijn speech op de netwerkborrel. ‘You know, you’re sharp business people. You’ve done your research. You know that we will have about 34 percent growth. You know about the 11 billion barrels of oil. You know that we’re going to monetize oil and gas. And you know that Guyana is growing. But you look at Suriname. You know that the economy in Suriname has stabilized over the last year. We’ve seen currency not depreciating anymore. We’ve seen inflation come down. We know that Suriname has 7 billion barrels of proven reserves. We know that Total is going to be a major investment by the end of the year. And we know that Suriname is going to be where Guyana is today in a few years’ time. So what does that really mean? That means opportunities for everybody in this room’.
