AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Airport Infrastructure: Phase 3 of the V.C. Bird International Airport runway rehabilitation is substantially complete and still ahead of schedule, with the full upgrade expected to finish by September 2026. Trade & Services Capacity: The Ministry of International Trade (with OECS support) is running a four-day trade seminar in Basseterre to strengthen the services sector and help officials navigate global markets. Regional Finance Focus: ECCB Governor Timothy N.J. Antoine will present the Monetary Council report on ECCU monetary, credit and financial conditions, alongside updates on the CAPSS payments pilot and fast payment systems. Food Security & Agriculture Tech: Antigua and Barbuda has opened a state-of-the-art plant tissue culture laboratory to produce disease-free planting material and boost local crop resilience, supported by China-Antigua cooperation. Utilities & Consumer Protection: APUA says outage-related appliance compensation is available but must be evidence-based, urging customers to use grounded electrical setups and surge protectors. CBI Shockwaves: EU letters demand OECS Citizenship by Investment programmes end by 2028, with Antigua’s leadership defending the programme’s role while Nevis Premier Mark Brantley warns of major economic fallout if visa-free access is threatened. Local Agri-Events: PiAngo Fest is cancelled for 2026 due to resource constraints and uncertainty around the mango crop.
