The Green Land of South America

Suriname: South America's next oil boom

Suriname, with just over 600,000 people, is one of the smallest and most biodiverse nations in South America -- over 90% of its territory is untouched Amazon rainforest. A former Dutch colony, it is the continent's only officially Dutch-speaking country, and a member of CARICOM.

The GranMorgu project in offshore Block 58, developed by TotalEnergies and APA Corporation, with reserves estimated in the hundreds of millions of barrels, places Suriname on a growth trajectory similar to neighboring Guyana's, with first oil production projected toward the end of this decade.

cifraHQ accompanies Suriname through this moment of transformation: from oil contractors and mining companies to trade and agribusiness, with compliance for Suriname's BTW (VAT) and dual SRD/USD accounting.

Our Philosophy

Made in Panama.
For Suriname and the Americas.

cifraHQ was born in Panama -- the crossroads of the Americas -- with the conviction that every nation in the hemisphere deserves an ERP that understands its language, its laws, and its scale. Suriname, the smallest nation in continental South America, is living through a historic moment: the Block 58 oil boom and the recent modernization of its tax system with the introduction of VAT (BTW).

We built cifraHQ so an oil contractor in Paramaribo, a rice exporter in Nickerie, or a mining company along the Suriname River can manage their finances with the same precision the Belastingdienst demands -- in SRD, in USD, or both at once.
