Members of Guyana’s Private Sector Commission (PSC) opted for continuity in leadership at the organization’s Annual General Meeting on Friday, re-electing three of its four principal office bearers.
Chairman Gerry Gouveia Jr., Vice Chairman Kathy Smith and Treasurer Imran Saccoor were returned to their positions, while Josephine Tapp was elected Secretary, marking the only change among the commission’s top office holders.
The PSC is Guyana’s umbrella private-sector body, bringing together business organizations and companies from across the economy to advocate on issues affecting investment, trade, competitiveness and economic development. It represents a broad cross-section of Guyana’s private sector through member organizations and corporate entities spanning multiple industries.
The election comes as Guyana continues to undergo rapid economic transformation driven by growth in the oil and gas industry, alongside expanding activity in construction, services, manufacturing and other sectors.
As the principal representative of the country’s business community, the PSC plays a key role in engaging the government on policies affecting the private sector.
