What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

President Irfaan Ali outlined an expansive concept for a national oil company, stating that it would not invest in offshore production. The company would be built around a domestic refinery and expanded fuel-storage capacity, with the potential to supply refined products to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). President Ali also stated that Guyana aims to become a regional food powerhouse, an energy hub, and a center for artificial intelligence and big data.
