Antigua & Barbuda is in a better position to meet its expenses, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He made the disclosure on Pointe FM recently while indicating that July has been the best month for revenue since covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis last month, July, has been our best revenue month to date and it\u2019s because we\u2019ve actually reopened up the economy,\u201d the Prime Minister announced.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cSo, whereas before we were struggling and we had just about $30 million, last month we would have gotten $45 million \u2014 revenue up about 20 per cent, because we\u2019ve actually reopened and people have been put back to work.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve paid all salaries and wages \u2026 and in addition to that, we have been meeting other expenses. For example, we are sending off $2.8 million to cover LIAT expenses [and] we paid all our securities on the Eastern Caribbean Stock Exchange. Things are looking up.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now we are close to 60 per cent of our revenue projections for this year, which is significantly better than what it was several months ago,\u201d the Prime Minister said.<\/p>
