AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Crime & Security: Three business break-ins and thefts were reported across Antigua this week, including EC$1,500 taken from a Fort Road office, and a power drill stolen from a construction site in Belmont. Road Safety & Infrastructure: A local automotive expert says road hazards and patchwork by APUA/PWD are worsening accidents, while police traffic deployment gaps are leaving key junctions without officers. Public Health & Services: Antigua’s Cancer Centre opening has been pushed again to early fall/September due to structural repairs, unserviced equipment, and specialist staffing needs. Energy & Utilities Costs: PM Gaston Browne says the government owes WIOC over EC$6 million for fuel subsidies, and warns water rates may need to rise as desalination costs strain finances. Regional Policy & Industry: Antigua’s PM takes over OECS Authority chairmanship as leaders push economic resilience, climate resilience, and regional integration; OECS also forms an advisory team for talks with the U.S. on third-nation deportees. Tourism & Development: Long Bay Zen Resort plans AI concierge, robotics, and an over-water chapel, while housing and construction plans face labour shortages and may require overseas workers. Labour & Wages: Epicurean workers secure wage increases and improved allowances under new collective bargaining agreements. Agriculture & Food Systems: IICA’s accountability seminar highlights food sustainability, agro-processing, youth engagement, and access to equipment.
