AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

CBI Shock for the Region: CARICOM leaders say the EU’s visa-free warning over Citizenship by Investment (CBI) wasn’t raised at the 51st Heads meeting, but the issue is still driving uncertainty for Antigua and Barbuda and other CBI states. Agriculture & Food Security: Antigua and Barbuda opened a new Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory with China-backed support to produce disease-free planting material, cut crop losses, and reduce reliance on imported plants. Banking for Farmers: Agricultural specialist Owolabi Elabanjo urged banks to invest directly in farming with low-interest financing, arguing growers currently fund production costs alone. Utilities & Consumer Protection: APUA says outage-related appliance compensation is possible, but claims must be evidence-based, with customers urged to ensure proper grounding and use surge protectors. Regional Finance Focus: ECCB Governor Timothy N.J. Antoine will present the ECCU monetary and financial conditions report, with priorities including food and nutrition security, energy resilience, digital transformation, and trade logistics. MSME Funding Deadline: The OECS-backed Regional MSME Matching Grants Programme extended Window 2 applications to July 24 for Blue Economy value chain groups. Sports Tourism Push: Antigua welcomed the Nottingham Girls’ Day School for its third sports exchange, with netball exhibition matches and local attractions on the itinerary. Income Classification Update: World Bank rankings keep Guyana high-income and Jamaica upper-middle-income, while Antigua and Barbuda remain in the high-income group.
