Citi has received regulatory approval from the Bank of Guyana for Citibank to establish a representative office in Georgetown.
According to the firm, this new entity will serve to facilitate the connection between Citi's clients and global markets, while reinforcing collaboration with the public and private sectors.
Citi says its decision to establish a presence in Guyana is driven by the nation's economic growth, particularly in key areas such as infrastructure and export financing.
Ernesto Torres Cantú, head of International, Citi, remarks: “The expansion of our unparalleled global network marks a milestone for Citi. An on-the-ground presence enables a strong understanding of local business dynamics, the culture, the regulations, and how to help clients navigate any environment.
“This allows us to provide unique solutions to global clients looking to invest in Guyana, and support the ambitions of Guyanese clients growing abroad."
Julio Figueroa, head of Citi, Latin America, adds: “After almost three decades of close relationship with Guyana without an on the ground presence, this new office is strategically established to enhance the delivery of products and services in the country and to strengthen our collaborative partnerships with government, its agencies, financial institutions and private sector.
“This underscores our commitment to supporting the nation’s economic growth and the development of LatAm.”
