Overview
Guyana's gross savings stood at 23.40% in 2025, a decline of +6.71% from 2024. The IMF projects 23.40% by 2025. Guyana ranked 69th globally.
Guyana’s gross savings rate has risen sharply from 6.67 percent in 1977 to 23.40 percent in 2025, placing the country 69th in the world and aligning it closely with peers such as Malaysia (23.43 percent) and Nigeria (23.30 percent). The upward trajectory accelerated after a dramatic trough of –55.38 percent in 2019, when the nation recorded a net dissaving episode amid fiscal stress and declining commodity prices. A pronounced rebound followed, culminating in an all‑time peak of 35.69 percent in 2022 as higher oil revenues and tighter fiscal discipline boosted domestic capital formation. Over the 49‑year series, the shift from low savings in the late 1970s to a sustained positive rate reflects structural changes in the economy, particularly the expansion of the extractive sector. Continued diversification and prudent management of oil proceeds will be crucial to sustain the current upward trend and avoid a reversal toward the 2019 trough.
