AGP Executive Report

Last update: 39 minutes ago

Banking Reform: Antigua and Barbuda’s House passed the Banking (Amendment) Bill, 2026, creating a new way to handle abandoned deposits and unclaimed safety-box items—moving funds to governments instead of forfeiture, while letting owners reclaim money indefinitely. US Negotiations: Parliament also approved a resolution setting strict, 12-point terms for any third-country transfer deal with the United States, with Antigua and Barbuda keeping full discretion and rejecting any automatic or open-ended programme. Tourism Stakes: Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez and PM Gaston Browne stressed the country would rather face US visa restrictions than accept criminal transfers, warning any disruption could hit a tourism economy worth about 60–65% of GDP. Maritime Security: PM Browne opened the 2026 Global Maritime Security and Sanctions Enforcement Symposium, calling illegal sea activity and shadow fleets a growing global threat and pushing stronger flag-state compliance. Infrastructure & Water: Ministry of Works staff resumed duties after pay talks, while APUA scheduled Fort James RO plant maintenance to cause daily water interruptions in several communities. Business & Skills: ABHTA launched the Taste of Wadadli Junior Chef Academy 2026, and the Chamber of Commerce named its 2026–2027 executive team. Regional Connectivity: Browne renewed calls for an OECS airline to fix chronic flight delays that strand travellers across the sub-region. Private Sector Recognition: Signature Aviation earned Great Place To Work certification for its Antigua & Barbuda operations for the third straight year.
