In Suriname, Jennifer Geerlings-Simons has been elected as the country's first female president. Her election follows a coalition agreement in the National Assembly, where her party secured a majority.
The incoming administration faces significant economic challenges, including managing debt and preparing for offshore oil production. The GranMorgu project, a $10.5 billion investment, is expected to begin in 2028.
Geerlings-Simons aims to stabilize state finances and ensure equitable distribution of oil industry benefits. The international community is closely watching Suriname's developments.
