Rafiek Sheorajpanday
Rafiek Sheorajpanday is the director of Hakrinbank in Suriname, notable for his involvement in the controversial Royalty’s for Everyone (RVI) program launched by President Chandrikapersad Santokhi. The program, aimed at distributing $750 to every Surinamese citizen as an advance on expected oil revenues, has raised concerns about its financial viability and legal foundations. Sheorajpanday has publicly maintained that the RVI does not create state debt, even as critics argue it poses significant risks to the country's banking system and economic stability.
