$2,000 bill goes into circulation very soon

Last Updated on Friday, 28 January 2022, 20:12 by Writer

Guyanese will soon have a $2,000 bill to spend, Governor of the Bank of Guyana Dr. Gobind Ganga confirmed on Friday.

He said the new currency note would go into circulation in few weeks after all of the administrative procedures such as publication in the Official Gazette, alerting the public about the security features and presenting one of the notes symbolically to President Irfaan Ali.

“We are going to do it within three weeks. We are really targeting Mashramani time,” he said, adding that the note was expected to go into circulation to commemorate Guyana’s 55th independence anniversary [last year] but that was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s coming out. It’s really nice and it has our logo which is of recent, One Guyana, and it carries our national flower, our national flag. It’s a reflection of our cohesiveness and our natural and national heritage that we want to portray,” he told News-Talk Radio Guyana 103.1 FM/Demerara Waves Online News.

Asked why the Bank of Guyana did not instead introduce a higher denomination because of rising prices, Dr. Ganga suggested that that would not be a good idea because of expected currency revaluation in the coming years. He suggested that Guyana might in the long run have to return to $1.00, $5.00 and $10.00 bills because “the currency shouldn’t be depreciating any further.”

The Central Bank Governor says that he had already hinted some months ago that a $2,000 bill will be produced.

Who signed as Governor and as Minister of Finance?

Signatures and Office holders have always been Governor and Minister of Finance. One of the signatures and Office holder on the new $2000 Bill deviated which is illegal . Power drunk and misleading the people is bad thing .

It is better to forget about the trajectory of Guyana. If the only Opposition is the PNC under the complete controls of Afro-Guyanese then we may as well surrender to the domineering spirit of elists indo cabal. The PNC is a disappointment since they took hold of the country and lately in 2015. Black People are an intelligent people in Guyana, why they give in to the lack lustre leadership. Heaven must know.

It looks like the elists indoes have the same dominance as the chinese. We know it ain right wid the tings dey do, but dey get away wid it.

Forget bout Guyana and hope fuh the best.

Strange these ppl, dey want to send pre-fab homes to Guana, whilst in Guyana ppl needs that benevolence. And Barbados got the Chinese to build them pre-fab homes. Put any money down, the Chinese will use wood in Guyana, built in Guyana and shipped to Barbados.

No Guyanese businessman has the connections to the PPP like the Chinese.

The Chinese even got the leadership in Canada under their thumb. It muss be something with the divine.

A one-man government, looking more like country too

Dear Editor,


If any Guyanese needed conformation that the PPP/C Government is a one-man government, they got it recently. It came under the hand of Guyana’s President Ali. It related to the new $2000 note, and the one empowered to sign as Minister of Finance on it. Some delusional and unmoored leaders, who fall in love with themselves, have public statues put up for them, and name important places after themselves, while they are still alive. Well, Guyana Vice President went one step above all those, when he had his signature embedded in that $2000 bill; in time most Guyanese will get to touch one of those bills and be able to kneel and pay homage to this grand vizier of a leader, this national treasure, this priceless museum monument to an immortal Guyanese spirit.
Editor, I will be clear, the Vice President is not just Finance Minister. He is an unparalleled Minister without Portfolio, who holds the power of all government portfolios. He is the President, and makes the proxy one prostrate to his wishes, kowtow to his Machiavellian monstrosities.
Though I understand the bait that the President fell for, I have lost sympathy for him in the pathetic figure he cuts. What I fail to understand is how the Guyanese with responsibility for Finance in the Office of the President could allow himself to be humiliated publicly by being part of these bizarre concoctions.
From the start, that lengthy and awkward title relayed that there was a con job at work, and the man with the title was merely a convenient surrogate. I am amazed that a man with the pedigree of a Guyana scholar could love an office so much, love being a part of such dubious and sleazy arrangements, that he would lower himself to such an embarrassing level. I expect nothing but what played out from the Vice President, but surely the one with the responsibility for this nation’s finances should have more self-respect and dignity than to allow himself to be used in such shenanigans.
Unfortunately, the other larger than life Guyanese who has lost his self-esteem to such an extent that he bows before such dirty tricks is the Hon. Attorney General. He knows what I think of him, which sometimes is not so, ah, pretty. He has had a real education, obtained real credentials, and can make it on his own (as he has done handsomely, sometimes peculiarly) in the world beyond the Vice President manipulated party and government.
I don’t think that any man can love power or money or fruits so much that they lose track of who they are, and can be, and surrender to such leadership atrocities. As a man of the law, he knows of that cardinal breach, not of the letter of the CCJ’s ruling on third term, but of its spirit. Obviously, it doesn’t matter to him, which is why he is where he is, and I am how I am and where.
Sincerely,
GHK Lall

Is it confirmation or conformation?

Old people sey, whatever happens in the dark eventually comes to light for all to see. Well, wah was suspected of the President is now in plain view-Papa Doc and Baby Doc. Both sport Doctor infront of dem names. Baby Doc was foot to foot behind Papa Doc. I blamed Linden Forbes Burnham fuh all dis. He introduced obeah into Guyanese Christian Society and now we have disguised leaders who follow in the steps of Haiti. The PPP is known to make good usses of PNC statues. Is our perils to follow have the same outcomes of the lost of excellent governance as in Haiti?

Oil money can be like water seeping through the fingers.

Some day, some body gweing to eat grass like Nebucadnezzar. Vanity has a price.

Christians need to pray, muslim community abandoned their allah for an idol, as for the hindus, dey know how to bare their chafe. Dem come from a land where the leaders treated them horribly to starvation. So, the hindus tink it is all karma-dey doing an injustice to Black people.

The PNC followers should wake dem baxsides up rather than riot and try to rape indo girls.

Punishment for a once beautiful place.
