GEORGETOWN - Bankers are “bombarding” Guyana with offers of financing backed by future oil production, the finance minister told Reuters, but the South American nation is rejecting the proposals to avoid the excessive borrowing that has plagued other oil producers.
Winston Jordan, an economist and career public servant, also cited Guyana’s own history of economic crisis in the 1980s for turning down overtures to finance infrastructure and development before oil money started flowing. During the oil boom years, Venezuela borrowed more than $50 billion from China through loans that were repaid in oil shipments, a practice later replicated in Ecuador. The arrangements were criticized for lack of transparency.
Do not fall for the 51% trick that was played in Iran is my adivice.
