Ramesh Gampat

Ramesh Gampat is a Guyanese economist and commentator known for his critical analysis of economic policies and their impact on the local economy. He has been vocal about the discrepancies in how international organizations assess Guyana's economic performance, particularly in relation to its burgeoning oil sector. Gampat argues that the use of overall GDP as a measure of economic health misrepresents the realities faced by ordinary citizens, who experience a vastly different economic landscape compared to the macroeconomic figures often cited by foreign entities. His recent letter to the editor highlights concerns over the tax-to-GDP ratio and the implications of oil revenue on domestic economic conditions.
