Steven Jasmin - Guyana's Great Transformation and Opportunities (Frontier Markets Podcast #7)

Frontier Markets Podcast

Guyana is laying the foundation to be one of the great growth stories from the 2020s to 2050. In 2022, the economy was forecasted to grow at 40% and ended up growing at 60%+ 🤯

In this episode of the Frontier Markets Podcast, we have a conversation with Steven Jasmin; Guyana's leading merchant banker, asset manager, and commercial real estate developer. Steven is a serial founder, with experiences ranging from working with Louisiana Oil Families, SF Technology Companies, Gulf State Capital, and more. Our conversations covers the following topics:

• The origin story of Guyana, its unique cultural dynamics, and how its growth engine works
• The recent history of Guyana and how it has engaged in capacity building over the previous decade.
• The current pipeline of infrastructure and projects that are coming on-line in Guyana this decade
• Comparing Guyana to peers, to contextualise its growth story.
• How Steven's firm has positioned itself to capitalise and accelerate a generational opportunity of wealth creation; for the country, investors, citizens, and more.
• Steven's operating philosophy and how to apply it to Frontier and Emerging Markets.

This is one of my favourite episodes, so I hope you, dear listener, enjoy this as much as I did.
