TS4D25-7

Following the National Workshop on the GATS, Services Domestic Regulation, and Investment Facilitation for Development of December 2024, Guyana has carried out the WTO-World Bank Regulatory Survey with assistance from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). As a pilot module, Guyana also field-tested new additional questions to take stock of the implementation of good regulatory practices (GRPs) within its domestic framework across services sectors.

This National Workshop will:
- Take stock of work completed to date on the regulatory survey;
- Complete survey responses and close information gaps;
- Validate factual information with relevant domestic authorities;
- Present and discuss draft findings with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and a broader stakeholder community (relevant ministries/agencies, regulators, private sector, and professional bodies);
- Obtain stakeholder feedback, preliminary recommendations and discuss possible next steps with Guyana. Identify priority actions and capacity-building needs and agree on immediate next steps (timeline, focal points).
