Suriname President Promises Oil Wealth for All Citizens with "Royalties" Plan | Firstpost America

Suriname, a small South American nation of 600,000, is on the verge of an oil boom that could redefine its future. Massive offshore oil reserves are expected to bring in $10 billion over the next two decades. President Chan Santokhi has announced a bold "Royalties for Everyone" programme, promising $750 to each citizen with a 7% annual interest. This wealth could lift many out of poverty, but Suriname must avoid the "oil curse" that has plagued other nations. With production starting in 2028 and major players like TotalEnergies leading a $10.5 billion project, the stakes are high. Can Suriname turn black gold into lasting prosperity? Stay tuned for more!

[arnoverhagen]

Greetings from Suriname, don't take the president seriously

[d-jay]

😂😂😂😂here in Suriname we are already tired with his promises

[guyaneseadventure]

I am a Guyanese and I live in Guyana. Do your research well. NO GUYANESE is receiving $464 dollars per month. The government promise a one time payment for this year of that amount but it has not been paid as yet. I hate seeing such lies in the media but then again is the money being allocated and not being paid? 🤔

[theancientsancients]

I'm very happy for Suriname! Congratulations 👏🏻🎉 happy For you ❤️ Somalia has discovered one of the largest oil 🛢️ and gas finds making it a top 10 oil producers .

[jamesaustin]

Guyanese citizens do not receive $464 per month. It is a one-off payment.
