This document presents the main findings
of the Guyana Investment Climate Survey (ICS) conducted
between November 2004 and March 2005. The ICA report
provides an evaluation of different aspects of the
environment of doing business in Guyana. It covers
governance-related obstacles, labor and technology issues,
the financial sector, and infrastructure. The ICA is based
on the results of the World Bank Guyana Investment Climate
Survey (ICS), as well as other sources of information,
including an opinion survey of Guyanese commercial bank
managers, and interviews with Guyanese entrepreneurs and
government leaders. The findings of the survey, combined
with relevant information from other sources, provide a
practical basis for identifying the most important areas for
reform aimed at improving the investment climate. |
