Guyana's fast-growing economy uses the Guyanese dollar alongside banking and payment services connecting domestic commerce to international networks. Real GDP expanded about 19.3% in 2025, while GDP per capita reached about US$32,400 across a population of fewer than 840,000 people.

Physical cash continues to be central outside Guyana's larger coastal businesses. Card acceptance is growing in Georgetown, but ATMs thin out inland, where Guyanese-dollar banknotes remain important despite the country's oil boom.
