Report No. 10307-GUY

Guyana From Economic Recovery to Sustained Growth April 10, 1992.

World Bank Latin America and the Caribbean Region

 

This report is based on a World Bank economic mission which visited

Guyana in October-November,1991

 

Currency Equavalents

 

Average exchange rates prevailing during recent years, Guyanese dollars (G$) per US $1.00,period average:

 

1988 - $10.00

1989 - $27.16

1990 - $39.53

1991 - $111.80

December, 1991 -$122.00

 

External Accounts 1.14

 

The large external debt of Guyana, presently about $2.0 billion (end 1990), presents a continued burden on the recovery program. At current exchange rates, this represents a debt equal to about 6 times the total GDP (as of the end of 1991). Scheduled debt service in 1990 equaled 99 % of the exports of goods and non-factor services.

 

About one-quarter of the debt is owed to multilateral agencies, and therefore not subject to rescheduling. About half of the debt is owed to bilateral lenders, and only a relatively small portion is owed to private creditors, banks and supplies.

 

The projected debt payments for 1992 will amount to approximately 41 % of exports of goods and non-factor services.

 

This report calculated debt payments as percentage of exports and non-factor services.

So my information was correct!  I thought you had contracting data!

The facts are in 1992 external debt was 700% GDP with servicing @ 96% of revenues.

The above what you said, you have increased debt by a couple million dollars.

Don't know how you arrived at 96 % of revenues for debt servicing,perhaps you can explain.

Guyana - GDP 1992  $0.37 billion

Guyana-Export percentage of GDP 125.75

Bai, you own posting says in 1990 Scheduled Debt service accounted 99% of Export Goods and services!  I believe when you add the sale of assets, you get 70~%!

Know when to quit!
