Guyana is experiencing lightning growth in its gross domestic product driven by the development of its oil industry. This situation allowed the GDP per capita to reach 20,540 dollars in 2023 according to the IMF, with forecasts at 37,000 dollars for 2028. Despite this influx of wealth, social indicators remain alarming since malnutrition among children under 5 years old has paradoxically increased.
