Antigua and Barbuda ‘no longer the fragile, post-crisis economy of a decade ago’ – Prime Minister

Prime Minister Gaston Browne says Antigua and Barbuda has recorded one of its strongest fiscal performances in modern history, with a primary surplus of EC$254.9 million (One EC dollar=US$0.37 cents) and an overall surplus of $116.3 million.

He made the revelation as he presented the 2026 national budget on Thursday.

Browne said the surpluses reflect a decisive turnaround from the deficits inherited 11 years ago and mark a period of disciplined fiscal management, steady economic expansion and increased revenue flows across key sectors.
