据世界石油网4月26日报道，圭亚那是过去十年来世界上最大的石油发现地，目前正与阿布扎比商讨建造一个深水港，以满足南美洲加勒比海沿岸快速的经济发展需求。
圭亚那总统伊尔凡·阿里今天在伦敦的一个投资研讨会上说：“我们必须有一个大型深水港口来处理巴拿马型船只。”“我们正在与阿布扎比港口洽谈。”
阿里说，这个港口将用农产品，不仅将圭亚那，而且将邻国苏里南和巴西北部与世界市场连接起来。他没有提供修建港口的成本或资金来源的细节。
圭亚那人口约80万，预计今年将成为全球增长最快的经济体之一，这得益于埃克森美孚公司主导的离岸约135英里(220公里)开发项目带来的石油收入。
政府渴望迅速实现经济多元化，以避免像一些发展中国家一样患上所谓“荷兰病”的命运，即自然资源繁荣导致其他部门衰退。
根据国际货币基金组织的数据，圭亚那今年的经济增长率将为47%，高于2021年的20%和2020年的43%。

Guyana in talks to build deepwater port with Abu Dhabi
Guyana, home to the world’s largest oil discovery of the past decade, is in discussions with Abu Dhabi to build a deepwater port to serve the rapid economic development along South America’s Caribbean coast.
“We must have a major deepwater port to handle a Panamax” ship, President Irfaan Ali said today during an investment seminar in London. “We are in discussions with Abu Dhabi Ports.”
The port would handle agricultural produce, linking not just Guyana but also neighboring Suriname and northern Brazil with world markets, Ali said. He did not provide details on how much the port would cost or how it would be financed.
Guyana, with a population of about 800,000 people, is expected to be one of the world’s fastest-growing economies this year, boosted by oil revenues from Exxon Mobil Corp.-led developments about 135 miles (220 kilometers) offshore.
The government is keen to quickly diversify the economy to avoid the fate of other developing countries that have fallen victim to the so-called Dutch disease, whereby a natural-resources boom triggers a decline in other sectors.
Guyana’s economy will grow 47% this year, on top of 20% in 2021 and 43% in 2020, according to the International Monetary Fund.
