In Focus: Registration and Compliance

In Guyana, the securities industry is regulated by the Guyana Securities Council (GSC). Part of its mandate involves ensuring compliance with the Securities Industry Act 1998. Consequently, it is mandatory for all businesses or individuals engaged in offering advisory services or conducting securities trading to be registered with the Guyana Securities Council (GSC).

If you're unsure about whether you need to register, which category to register under, or if you qualify for an exemption, it is best to seek professional advice. The GSC, as a regulatory agency, is not able to provide legal or other professional advice.
