Ramotar says Guyana can attain developed country status

President Donald Ramotar has said that he strongly believes that Guyana can move up to become a developed country. This, he said, will depend on the right infrastructure being put in place across the country, so that production levels can be raised and competitiveness increased, as well as producing more value- added products.
He stated that he will work assiduously during the remaining years of his Presidency to ensure that Guyana becomes a developed country.
He was addressing the Ninth Opening of Berbice Expo at Albion on Friday evening. The Guyanese Leader alluded to the time when Guyana was classified as a Heavily Poor Indebted Country (HPIC). It then improved to a Middle- Income Developing Country.
Ramotar said that while much work has been done during the past seven years to make Guyana more developed, the “historical task” now beckons to make Guyana a developed country. “And to do so, we have to ensure, we have to have the right infrastructure in place to raise production…and be more competitive and earn more for our products by having value- added…”
This feat, he said, is within our grasp.
