Cabinet welcomes slowdown in inflation

1 min read

ST JOHN’S, Antigua, Jun. 12, CMC  –  The Cabinet  has welcomed as a positive development,  the decline in inflation,  noting that the inflation rate in Antigua and Barbuda rose by approximately 4.0% over the twelve-month period ending February 2025. 

This marks the smallest year-over-year increase in the all-items index since December 2023.

The Cabinet in the Gaston Browne led administration is  attributing this to the effective leadership and sound economic policies of the government.

 These efforts have helped cushion the nation against exogenous shocks, including ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, as well as global trade tensions and tariff disputes involving the United States.
