The Guyana Budget Policy Institute has expressed worry that the bankrupted state the A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) has left the treasury will make it that much harder for the incoming Government. Singh in a letter to the editor said that families across Guyana, particularly those living in poverty and on low incomes, are hurting and experiencing financial hardship, “unlike anything we have seen in the last few decades. The longer this continues the worse it will get and the more difficult it will be to resolve.” On Saturday, the Institute’s Executive Director Dhanraj Singh said that the new Government must immediately confront the challenge of the economic distress made worse by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
