Guyana to launch a diaspora bond — details still pending

Marking 60 years of independence, President Irfaan Ali announced a diaspora bond to let Guyanese abroad fund public infrastructure as the country rides its oil-driven boom. The size, returns and eligibility were not released and are “expected soon.” The pitch arrives against a sharper backdrop: a 2026 UNDP report ranks Guyana high for brain drain even as GDP surges. For you: treat the bond as an investment to scrutinise on terms, not a patriotic reflex — wait for the prospectus before committing.
