Guyana’s Oil Revenue Savings: Fact vs. Fiction

On the campaign trail, Dr. Terrence Campbell of APNU claimed the PPP/C government is spending 95% of Guyana’s oil revenues and pledged to save 25% annually.

𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸: The Bank of Guyana’s Natural Resource Fund (NRF) report shows the PPP/C has already saved 46% of non-interest inflows and 48% of total inflows since inception.

That’s nearly double the savings target APNU is proposing.

𝐍𝐑𝐅 𝐒𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭 (𝐐𝟏 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓)

• Total Inflows: US$6.655B

• Withdrawals: US$3.6B

• Interest Earned: US$279M

• Net Savings: US$3B

• Total Market Value in NRF: US$3.339B

Conclusion: The PPP/C’s fiscal discipline is evident. Guyana’s oil wealth is being responsibly managed—contrary to political claims.
