Guyana GUY

Executive summary

Guyana maintains an adequate credibility score of 65.6/100, but faces significant challenges due to a large credibility gap of 99.8/100, reflecting a misalignment between policy expectations and outcomes. Recent geopolitical events, including civil unrest, alleged corruption, and links to illicit gold trade, have further eroded institutional confidence. While inflation remains implicitly targeted at 3.6%, the absence of clear central bank communication and policy rate data complicates assessment. The country ranks 11th in the Latin America & Caribbean region, slightly above the regional average, but ongoing instability and weak governance signals pose material risks to macroeconomic credibility and long-term investment prospects.
