GTUC Message on CARICOM’s 52nd Anniversary- “Rededicate to the People, Reclaim the Vision”

“The production figure, while slightly below 2019, is especially significant and noteworthy given that the mining industry, in 2020, faced severe challenges caused by the global pandemic, financial and infrastructural constraints and a difficult tax regime,” the GGDMA said in the statement.

The Association said that it has taken note of the fact that small and medium scale miners have “maintained their commitment to the production target and continue to perform.”

“The Association therefore continues to lobby the government for additional reliefs and tax support for the local industry to increase productivity and mobilize additional investment,” the Association said.

Though the 2021 target for gold production has not yet been announced the GGDMA remains confident that given the additional reliefs and tax support, “miners will not only rise to the challenge but exceed them”.
