Guyana, with a population of around 799 thousand people, has a GDP of approximately 25.82 billion making it the 120th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Guyana is the Guyanese Dollar (GYD)
The economy is rapidly transforming due to massive offshore oil discoveries, which are now the main driver, alongside traditional gold and bauxite mining. It is a member of CARICOM and has increasingly strong economic ties with the United States and global energy markets.
The predominant method for day-to-day commerce in Guyana is physical cash, the Guyanese Dollar. The use of debit cards is growing and they are accepted at supermarkets and established businesses, particularly in the capital, Georgetown. MMG+, a mobile money service led by the local telecom GTT, provides a digital option for bill payments, P2P transfers, and merchant payments.
