Guyana, the world's fastest-growing economy, is projected to double its GDP in the next five years, primarily due to its burgeoning oil industry. The country's oil production is expected to increase from 390,000 barrels per day this year to over a million by 2027, following the inception of new offshore fields in Guyana's Stabroek Block by a consortium led by Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM). However, the bullish forecast is contingent on political stability and high oil prices.
