Guyana has been suspended from the global Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) for failure to submit a report for 2020, sources tell Stabroek News.
Georgetown was formally advised of the development on February 17th by the Norway-headquartered body but there has been no word from the government about it.

EITI countries commit to disclose information along the extractive industry value chain – from how extraction rights are awarded, to how revenues are channelled through government and how they benefit the public. Through participation in the EITI, more than 50 countries have agreed to a common framework governing what has to be disclosed and when – the EITI Standard. Now that Guyana is an oil producer the Standard is seen to be even more important.

Amid Guyana’s embarrassing suspension from a natural resources transparency body, President Irfaan Ali yesterday pledged that his government is firmly committed to openness and accountability and sought to blame members of a stakeholder group for the predicament the country now faced.


Yesterday’s Stabroek News reported on Guyana’s suspension from the Norway-based Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) for failing to meet an end-of-year submission of the 2020 report.

Official notification of the suspension was transmitted to the government on February 17 but there was no statement until the publication of the news item in yesterday’s edition of Stabroek News.


So this was going to be swept under the carpet had it not been for SN
