## Resource

Guyana’s Private Sector Commission is going all-in on cracking down on illegal trade, uniting government agencies and big businesses to protect markets and consumers. Chairman Gerald Gouveia Jr. emphasized collaboration as key, highlighting how counterfeit goods cripple legitimate companies and stall economic growth. At a major cross-agency meeting, the PSC equipped enforcement officers with tactical gear—including vests, suits, and traffic wands—to boost safety and effectiveness on the front lines. Since launching its Illicit Trade Desk last year, the commission has pushed for harsher penalties and proposed a national task force, citing losses of up to 25% market share in some sectors. This coordinated push signals a serious, sustained effort to build a fairer, safer marketplace for all Guyanese.
