Guyana’s Bold Move: Every Citizen to Receive Cash Payouts from Oil Wealth

In a surprising new policy, Guyana—a small yet rapidly growing country nestled in the Caribbean between North and South America—has announced plans to distribute funds directly to its citizens. Following the discovery of substantial oil reserves, which has propelled Guyana to one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, the government has decided to share the wealth with its people. Every Guyanese citizen over the age of 18 will be eligible for a grant totaling 100,000 Guyanese dollars, sourced directly from the nation’s oil revenue. What does this mean for the country’s future? Dive in for more on this groundbreaking decision.
