5. Economy:
The cost of living in Guyana is high. This is because most of the items used in daily life are imported with high transportation costs involved. Monopoly in some business sectors also causes higher profit booking and further raising of prices. For example, approximate prices (as of January, 2010) of Gasoline (Petrol) is 5 US$ per gallon, and electricity prices are close to 0.33 US$ per unit. A domestic gas bottle (or gas cylinder) is slightly over 20 US$. Rent for average family accommodation may exceed 500 US$ per month in safe urban locations, and personal income tax, which is 33.33% (one third) of total taxable income makes the cost of living higher. An employee's salary is normally paid in Guyanese dollars (1 US Dollar = 205 Guyanese Dollars approx.) and income tax is deducted by the employer.
