Book excerpt: Antigua and Barbuda’s economy continues its solid expansion with growth projected at 5.7 percent for 2023. Tourism and construction activity have both been strong, with real activity expected to return to its pre-pandemic level during 2023. After reaching 9.2 percent at end-2022, inflation fell to 6.6 percent by August of this year, with core inflation steadily declining. The current account deficit widened to an estimated 16.2 percent of GDP in 2022 with higher tourism receipts more-than-offset by an increase in goods imports and a worsening in the terms of trade. The current account deficit is expected to fall to around 12 percent of GDP this year. The rebound in nominal GDP lowered public debt to 87 percent of GDP at end-2022, from 95 percent of GDP at end-2021. Nonetheless, gross financing needs are high, and there has been limited progress in resolving arrears to creditors and domestic suppliers. Financial sector balance sheets are healthy. However, credit union lending has continued to grow rapidly, albeit from a low base, raising concerns about future credit quality.

Book excerpt: Antigua and Barbuda’s economy is on a gradual recovery path, following a sharp contraction in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher food and fuel prices are adding to inflation, eroding real incomes, and exacerbating fiscal and external imbalances. The economy is projected to grow by 6 percent in 2022 supported by tourism and construction activity, but output will return to pre-pandemic levels only by 2025 due to scarring effects of the pandemic. Inflation is expected to accelerate to 81⁄2 percent in 2022, reflecting the pass-through of global prices to the domestic economy. Continued fiscal consolidation efforts and the growth recovery are bringing down the primary deficit and debt-to-GDP ratio, but gross financing needs are high and arrears continue to be accrued. The financial system has adequate capital and liquidity buffers, with stable NPLs so far, but private sector credit growth is weak. Further commodity price shocks, a sharper-than-expected slowdown in key trading partners, a resurgence of COVID, tighter global financial conditions, lower citizenship-byinvestment revenues, and the ever-present threat of natural disasters all represent material downside risks.

The new government that came to power in June 2014 inherited serious fiscal and external payments problems, including arrears to the Fund and other creditors, and unresolved banking sector problems. Moreover, public debt remains at an unsustainable level of close to 100 percent of GDP, while economic activity has been weak with output still well below the level reached at the time of the 2008/09 global financial crisis. Main policy recommendations • Implement fiscal measures equivalent to 2.8 percent of GDP in 2015 to tackle cash flow problems and achieve an underlying primary surplus of 3.0 percent of GDP by 2016 to address debt sustainability challenges. Underpin measures with structural fiscal reforms. • Use Citizenship by Investment Program revenues to pay down arrears and debt and fund bank resolution. The program should be managed in line with the high standards of governance and transparency set out in the law. • Move expeditiously as planned with the resolution of ABI Bank and support initiatives underway to strengthen the regional bank resolution framework, in particular, the passage of needed legislative reforms. • Improve competitiveness by moderating labor costs; increasing energy efficiency, including by better performance of the state-owned utility company; and improving the investment climate. Authorities’ views. The authorities broadly agreed with staff’s assessment of the economic situation and risks, and its recommendations to reduce fiscal vulnerabilities and strengthen the banking system. They were more optimistic about growth prospects for 2015 based on expectations for substantial FDI. They are opposed to increases in taxes and plan to focus fiscal efforts on cutting recurrent spending. On bank resolution, they wish to work closely with the Fund and World Bank to speedily address outstanding problems. They paid the arrears to the Fund and committed to timely servicing of Fund obligations. Data provision. Data provision is adequate for surveillance and post-program monitoring although significant areas for improvement remain, in particular on labor market statistics, measurement of arrears, financial information on state-owned enterprises, and national accounts by expenditure components.

Book excerpt: The economy of Antigua and Barbuda has experienced a slackening of economic growth as a result of international economic recession and the trade difficulties within the Caricom regional market. Future growth prospects appear sound, however. Much of the future growth of the economy will depend upon a reorientation of the manufacturing sector toward extraregional export markets and restraint in public sector current expenditures. A variety of issues will need to be addressed to ensure that the foundations for future economic growth are in place. These include: (i) immediate progress is necessary to curtail the growth of public sector current expenditures; (ii) alternative revenue raising measures are necessary together with an effective tax policy and general improvement in the tax administration; (iii) employment generation constitutes the main development challenge; (iv) the tourism sector, the country's leading sector, should be expanded; (v) efforts should be made to expand the representation of the Industrial Development Board and allocate the resources necessary to enable the Board to play a major role in the attraction of new manufacturing investment; and (vi) within the agricultural sector, efforts must be made to encourage fruit, vegetable, and livestock production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suddenly, there were black clouds in the sky. Everyone heard a loud noise coming from the sky and they all knew that Vorltrarr the Dragon was coming. King Aurthorr yelled out, "Daughters, Vorltrarr comes! Get ready your weapons! The time has come for you to fulfill the prophecy!" Princess Sasha, Princess Trina, Princess Alexandra and Rebecca walked up ahead of the army and lined up together in a row. They looked like warriors! Rebecca was not afraid! She took a deep breath and got her weapon ready for the task that lay ahead. She understood the prophecy now and had faith in herself and the Princesses. She was determined not to let them or the Land of Antigua down. They each pulled out their bows and prepared to kill the dragon. The Dragon Vorltrarr got nearer to the heroes! Fire came out of his nostrils and his mouth. Princess Alexandra handed each of the other girls one of the special arrows that they had gotten from the Head Centaur of the Unicorns. All four of the girls pointed their bows up into the air and waited for Vorltrarr to come nearer. Vorltrarr let out such a loud noise that the ground shook! Then fire came right out of his nostrils. The Wizard Thandorfur held his mighty wand up toward the sky and yelled, "Mighty clouds of the sky, I call upon you to bring forth lightening to destroy the Dragon Vorltrarr!" Suddenly the black clouds over the Dragon Vorltrarr began to roar like a freight train. Large lightening bolts came out of the clouds toward Vorltrarr. One lightening bolt struck Vorltrarr and wounded him but it didn't kill him!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant look at colonialism and its effects in Antigua--by the author of Annie John "If you go to Antigua as a tourist, this is what you will see. If you come by aeroplane, you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall (V. C.) Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an airport named after him--why not a school, why not a hospital, why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen . . ." So begins Jamaica Kincaid's expansive essay, which shows us what we have not yet seen of the ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies where she grew up. Lyrical, sardonic, and forthright by turns, in a Swiftian mode, A Small Place cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies.
