WHILE many nations globally are shifting their fiscal investments away from budgetary measures, Guyana is maintaining its deliberate effort to shield ordinary Guyanese from global economic shocks while deepening opportunities for wealth creation across households and businesses, President Dr Irfaan Ali has said.
The country’s 2026 national budget outlines a series of measures that, he says, collectively absorb hundreds of billions of dollars in potential inflationary pressure that would otherwise fall on families, farmers, and enterprises.
Examining some of these key fiscal policies and measures, Dr Ali, on Wednesday, stressed that the objective is to ease the cost of living and expand economic opportunities.
