US EXIM signals new investment push with letter of interest for deep-water ports

A letter of interest for the development of deep-water ports has been issued, signalling new opportunities for expanded cooperation between Guyana and the United States in logistics and trade infrastructure.
Chairman and President of the Export–Import Bank of the United States, John Jovanovic, disclosed the development during an official visit to Georgetown aimed at strengthening bilateral economic ties and advancing key infrastructure investments.
Jovanovic led a delegation that met President Dr Irfaan Ali and senior government officials to discuss ongoing collaboration, including the US$527 million EXIM-financed Gas-to-Energy project.
He praised Ali’s leadership, describing his “enthusiasm, creativity, brilliance and vision” as central to confidence in Guyana’s development trajectory.
“We are grateful to have a strong partner in Georgetown and with the Guyanese people,” Jovanovic said, expressing optimism about building a region that is “safe, prosperous and secure.”
The delegation also engaged with the American Chamber of Commerce and representatives of Lindsayca Inc., the US-based firm executing the project. Jovanovic added that progress from the visit is expected to shape the next phase of Guyana–US relations over the coming months.
