Patriots Portfolio: your weekly look at Guyana’s economic landscape — what’s growing, what’s coming, and where the opportunities are for Guyanese building toward the future.
THE HEADLINE NUMBER THIS WEEK: US$761 MILLION
Guyana received US$761 million in oil revenue in Q1 2026. Annualised, that projects to approximately US$3 billion in oil receipts for the year — before accounting for the Uaru development coming online and pushing production toward one million barrels per day by year end. For context: Guyana’s entire GDP was around US$27 billion in 2025 and growing. The oil revenue is not the whole economy. But it is the engine that is funding everything else described in this column.

The Patriots Portfolio — for Guyanese who care where the money goes and where it comes from. Every Friday.
THE WEEK IN GUYANA’S ECONOMIC PICTURE
The 38% Tariff: What It Actually Means
Let’s be precise. The Trump administration’s “reciprocal” tariff imposes 38% on Guyanese exports to the United States. The baseline for most Caribbean nations is 10%. Guyana’s higher rate is almost certainly driven by the US trade deficit with Guyana — which exists because the US buys significant volumes of Guyanese oil.

Week of March 27, 2026
MARKET MOOD: COMPLICATED OPTIMISM
Global oil markets remain volatile against the backdrop of Middle East conflict. Guyana’s production — past 900,000 barrels per day — is insulated from the worst volatility by long-term offtake agreements, but the private sector is watching the Gulf situation closely. The Guyana Chronicle reports the local private sector is “closely tracking developments in the Middle East.” That is the polite way of saying everyone is nervous and nobody wants to say so publicly.

Week of March 24, 2026
MARKET MOOD: CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC
Global oil prices are elevated due to Middle East instability, which is — depending on who you ask — either very good for Guyana or very complicated for Guyana. The answer, as usual, is both.
THIS WEEK’S MAIN MOVES
🛢️ EXXON: THE YELLOWTAIL PRODUCTION REQUEST
ExxonMobil has formally applied to the Government of Guyana to increase production at the Yellowtail FPSO from 263,000 barrels per day to 290,000 barrels per day. Application is currently under government review.

The Patriots Portfolio: treating Guyana’s national developments as investment opportunities since we had nothing better to do. Not financial advice. Not any kind of advice, actually.
📈 BUY
Oil at US$100/barrel
Guyana produces oil. Oil is at $100 a barrel. The math here is straightforward. Whether the math reaches your pocket is a separate and more complicated calculation, but the macro position is strong. We are bullish on the barrel. We are cautiously optimistic about the trickle-down. We remain watchful for the trickle.
Confidence: High. Arrival timeline: TBD.
