Guyana, a country on South America’s North Atlantic coast, is defined by its dense rainforest.
Guyana's GDP per capita is rapidly increasing due to oil production, which began in 2019 and reached 278,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2022. The country is expected to remain one of the fastest growing economies with double-digit growth rates in 2023 and 2024 as additional oil fields start operation.[2] While, historically, Guyana's GDP per capita was among the lowest in South America, extraordinary economic growth since 2020, averaging 42.3 percent over the last three years, brought GDP per capita to over US$18,199 in 2022, from US$6,477 in 2019. Real GDP is estimated to have increased by 63.4 percent in 2022, primarily driven by the expansion of oil production but also strong growth in the non-oil economy.

Overview

Guyana is the third smallest country in South America. Between 2005 and 2013, the economy grew by 4.7 percent per year on average, ending a disappointing decade of alternating years of growth and contraction.
