US Ambassador to Guyana, H.E Sarah-Ann Lynch

The Inaugural U.S.-Guyana Growth in the Americas Working Group held its first meeting virtually on Friday, the US embassy said in a release. The meeting is a product of the Growth in the Americas Initiative Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Guyanese Minister of Foreign International Cooperation Hugh Todd on September 18, 2020 in Georgetown.

The MOU aims to facilitate bilateral collaboration in the areas of finance, energy and infrastructure, and identify ways to catalyze private capital for programmatic and project-specific investment opportunities, according to the release. It further seeks to address technical, regulatory, structural, systemic, economic, and financial obstacles, and propose solutions intended to attract the investment necessary to advance Guyana’s prosperity.
