Guyana discovered massive offshore oil reserves in 2015 and has since become one of the world's fastest-growing economies by per-capita income. Republic Bank Guyana, Demerara Bank, and Citizens Bank Guyana are the primary SWIFT correspondents, processing the rapidly escalating Stabroek Block oil revenues from ExxonMobil/Hess/CNOOC operations, gold and bauxite mining payments, and sugar export proceeds that historically dominated Guyanese trade.
