Guyana's diaspora bond lands this week
Before you buy: currency, tenor, and how you actually get paid.
Guyana is expected to open its diaspora bond within the week. Before committing, three questions decide whether it fits you: what currency you are paid in — USD versus GYD changes your real return — the tenor and whether you can exit early, and how interest actually reaches you abroad. A diaspora bond is a way to lend to home for a fixed return. That can be sound, but only if the terms match how long you can afford to lock money away.
