Dear Editor,
Guyana 2014 National Budget is definitely a people focused budget which is highly reflective of its theme “A better Guyana for all Guyanese”. The PPP/C administration is known to present people-centred budgets since 1993 anyway.
The Finance Minister, Dr Ashni Singh and his team ought to be congratulated for the preparation of Budget 2014 which realistically and in detail sets out the Government’s financial plans to achieve continued socio-economic growth for the year 2014.
Our country’s 2014 Gy$220 Billion budget is therefore designed to ensure that Guyana’s economy grow by 5.6 per cent in 2014. But the continued growth of Guyana’s economy is highly reflective of excellent management by the Government under the leadership of President Donald Ramotar.
I am impressed and satisfied with the budgeting allocations given to the various sectors of our country which will certainly move Guyana forward. In fact, all Guyanese will benefit from Budget 2014 and what I am most happy about is that the parents of public school children will be receiving an annual allowance and our pensioners will continue to receive pension increases.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Persaud
