AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Energy & Trade Pressure: Government says rising fuel costs and Strait of Hormuz tensions are forcing a scale-back of growth expectations, with knock-on effects for food prices as fertilizer routes get disrupted. Tourism & Aviation: Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism leadership is in the spotlight after Charmaine Spencer was named ABTA Chief Marketing Officer, while regional cruise concerns keep bubbling as Jamaica’s cruise arrivals fall sharply. Blue Economy & Education: World Ocean Day activities put schoolchildren at the center, with a Blue Economy mural campaign and a push to grow ocean-linked opportunities. Living Wage Debate: A panel warns a living wage is achievable but will take years, likely raising costs for businesses and consumers unless phased carefully. Infrastructure & Construction: Works rolled out smaller concrete trucks to reach tight roadwork sites, and a High Street parking ban was ordered to keep heavy construction traffic moving for the Performing Arts Centre. Agriculture & Skills: AUA donated whiteboards and flip charts to ABCAS, supporting the incoming School of Agriculture programme. Shipping Security: Post and Customs are reforming workflows and training officers at a regional summit to streamline mail processing and border security. Tourism Development: Long Bay Zen Resort construction has started, framed as a luxury tourism push tied to staff pay and Vision 2030.
