Guyana, on the north coast of South America, has a Muslim community of Indian and African heritage and has been an OIC member since 1998, one of only two in the Americas with Suriname. OIC membership allowed Guyana to join the Islamic Development Bank, which formally inducted it as its 57th member in 2016.
Since then the IsDB has financed projects in the country, and Guyana's list of planned Islamic-funded projects includes cooperation on Halal ecosystems. Guyana has no Islamic finance regulation or Islamic bank yet. This guide lists the institutions behind each part, with their pages on Wasabih.
