Guyanese Dollar (GYD)

The Guyanese Dollar is the official currency of Guyana, abbreviated as GYD in forex markets. It is managed by the Bank of Guyana and is subdivided into 100 cents.

Example

As Guyana's oil production ramped up, the GYD attracted increased attention from forex traders speculating that petroleum revenue would strengthen the currency over time.
