What Wimpel Is
Wimpel is an independent business intelligence publication focused on Suriname and the broader Caribbean. We cover oil and gas, real estate, finance, economic policy, and the entrepreneurs building companies in one of the region's most significant economic moments.
We publish analysis, reporting, and opinion. We name names. We read legislation. We follow the money.
Why We Exist
Suriname is entering an oil boom of historic proportions. TotalEnergies and APA Corporation are developing the GranMorgu project at Block 58 — a multi-billion-dollar offshore development that will transform the country's fiscal position for a generation. The decisions being made right now about how those revenues are distributed, which businesses participate in the supply chain, and what institutions are built to manage the wealth will define Suriname's trajectory for decades.
These decisions deserve serious, independent scrutiny. Wimpel provides it.
Our Editorial Standards
We verify facts independently before publishing. We distinguish clearly between reporting, analysis, and opinion. We do not publish sponsored content without disclosure. We do not accept payment for editorial positions. Sources who speak on condition of anonymity are granted that protection when the information is in the public interest and the source has genuine knowledge of the matter.
When we are wrong, we correct the record publicly and promptly.
Who We Are
Wimpel is published from Paramaribo, Suriname. Our editorial team combines Caribbean business experience with international journalism and research standards. We are not affiliated with any political party, government ministry, or commercial interest in the sectors we cover.
