Following the presentation of Guyana’s Budget 2026, Ascension Business Services, one of Guyana’s leading corporate advisory firms, is hosting a public seminar aimed at addressing questions and clearing up uncertainty surrounding the measures announced.
The post-Budget 2026 seminar will be held on January 27 at 6:00 pm at Fika Cafe on Light and Lamaha Streets in Georgetown. The session will focus on breaking down key budget measures and explaining how they affect businesses, professionals, and citizens.
Economist and public policy expert Richard Rambarran will lead the discussion and take questions from attendees. He said public confusion after the budget often creates room for speculation and misinformation.
“Over the years, I have been contacted by numerous persons to answer questions and clarify measures,” Rambarran said in a recent announcement on social media. “This year, Ascension Business Services will be hosting a post-Budget 2026 Seminar, where I will be presenting a breakdown of measures implemented and benefits for businesses, professionals, and citizens.”
Registration is available online, and seating is limited. See the link here.
Rambarran said the event will also launch a wider public engagement series by the firm.
“This is a kick-off to an upcoming series called Cafe Chats in which topics of national importance and public interest will be explored in a casual environment,” he told OilNOW. “It is intended to facilitate edification around key topical areas, and I anticipate it to be a monthly staple in the public discourse.”
Guyana’s 2026 National Budget, presented by the Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh on January 26, was set at GYD $1.558 trillion for the fiscal year. That figure marks a record-high budget, about 12.7% larger than the 2025 budget.
