社评0607  国际贸易中心将促进和圭亚那全面交流



国际贸易中心将促进和圭亚那全面交流


今午我代表休斯敦国际贸易中心及环球第一银行会见了南美圭亚那驻美南地区总领事胡笙阁下, 双方就加强合作事项交换意见并取得许多共同之协议, 将进一步加强休斯敦地区工商界和圭亚那之经济投资和教育文化之交流。


圭亚那是南美唯一以英语為官方语言之国家,大约人口只有近八十万,主要由百分之三十之非裔及百分之四十的印度裔移民组成。 


在二0一九年国内生產总值仅三十八点三亿美元, 人均是四千八百元, 并且是一个贫穷以外债减免的国家。 但是在二0一五年时, 美国埃克森美孚公司在圭亚那海域发现了八十亿桶之上等油田,并於当年十二月开始產油。  估计未来石油日產量将超过110 万桶, 圭亚那未来石油人均產量甚至会超过科威特、 阿拉伯联合大公国及沙地阿拉伯、经济成长率為全球第一, 也会成為世界最富有之国家之一。


胡笙总领事表示欢迎各类商业前往投资, 包括基础建设、 观光旅馆、 电力设施 、商场,而且政府有各项优惠措施 ,凡是在圭亚那居住五年以上即可拿到圭亚那居留权 ,享有所有公民待遇。


圭亚那将必然会成為世界上最有钱的国家之一, 其惊人之石油天然气產量将為人口仅有不到八十万的弹丸小国成為经济之传奇。


我们决定近期内在美南电视环球电视剧坊举行圭亚那投资座谈会, 来為这个盛產石油之南美小国招商引资, 欢迎大家到时参加。


应圭亚那政府之邀, 我们将组成一个代表团近期前往考察访问。


ITC Trade Mission Will Visit Guyana Soon 


Just this afternoon I visited Honorable Lutfi Hassan, the  honorary Consul General of Guyana and our two sides exchanged views on strengthening cooperation on economic, culture and education between the ITC membership and Guyana.


The only country that speaks English in South America has a population of 800,000, mainly composed of 30% African decendants and 40% Indian immigrants. 


In 2019, the national GDP was only $3.83 billion with a per capita annual income of about $4800.00 dollars and it was considered a poor country dependent on debt relief. 


However, in 2015, ExxonMobil found an oilfield near the ocean of about 8 billion barrels in the waters of Guyana. According to estimates, it could produce 1.1 million barrels of oil every day. It will exceed the oil outputs of Kuwait, United Arab Emirates and  Saudi Arabia and become one of the richest nations in the world. 


Consul General Hassan told me they welcome all kinds of investment including infrastructure, power, energy, shopping centers, hotels, schools and hospitals. Anyone who stays in Guyana for more than five  years will get a green card and can apply to become a citizen of Guyana. 


We have decided to hold a Guyana Investment Symposium at our TV studio in the near future and ITC will organzine a trade mission to visit this soon-to-be one of the richest countries in the world.
