The International Monetary Fund has projected inflation to fall in Antigua and Barbuda this year.<\/p>

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

Its World Economic Outlook released on Tuesday says the average increase in prices will be 5.1 per cent in the twin-island state this year, compared to 9.2 per cent in 2022.<\/p>\n

This is forecast to be significantly lower than the average of over 13 per cent for Latin America and the Caribbean for 2023.<\/p>

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

It will also be lower than that of several other Caribbean countries, including Barbados, which is projected to see a rate of inflation of close to 7 per cent this year, and Guyana at 6.6 per cent.<\/p>

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

St Kitts and Nevis is projected to see the lowest rate of inflation among Caricom at 2.3 per cent, while Suriname is set to see the highest, at 42.7 per cent.<\/p>\n

The IMF says the baseline forecast is for global headline inflation to decline from 8.7 percent in 2022 to 7.0 percent in 2023.<\/p>

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

All countries around the world have been faced with higher prices as a result of supply shocks from Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. (State Funded Media)<\/p>\n
