St John’s, Antigua and Barbuda – Prime Minister Gaston Browne has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to high governance standards, stating that transparency and accountability are essential to the long-term success of Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme and national development more broadly.
Speaking at the 2025 Caribbean Investment Summit, Browne emphasised that good governance is not only a moral obligation but also a strategic advantage that attracts responsible investment and builds international trust.
“We believe that good governance is good business,” Browne said. “It is the foundation on which our CBI programme rests and the key to sustainable national progress.”
The Prime Minister outlined the role of the CBI programme in advancing public infrastructure, healthcare, education, and climate resilience projects across the country.
He noted that these achievements were made possible through a values-based approach, with the CBI programme guided by principles of integrity, stability, and sustainability.
Antigua and Barbuda’s CBI framework has undergone a series of reforms, including enhanced due diligence, alignment with international sanctions regimes, and the introduction of a residency requirement.
Browne said these measures demonstrate the country’s commitment to maintaining a credible, well-regulated investment migration system.
He also pointed to Antigua and Barbuda’s collaboration with international partners such as the European Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom, highlighting ongoing efforts to meet global compliance expectations while preserving programme competitiveness.
“Our vision is to operate a programme that supports nation-building while upholding the highest standards of transparency and accountability,” Browne said.
“That is how we maintain our leadership in this space.”
Held under the theme Integrity. Stability. Sustainability, the summit brought together regional policymakers and global stakeholders to explore the future of investment migration against a backdrop of heightened global regulatory scrutiny.

I don’t like line, comparing governance to a business because you’re not expected to make profit you’re expected to make the people profit by providing equal opportunity for everyone no matter what financial situation they been born into.
I am not a fan of CBI it’s just a excuse to sell assets to foreign elite’s just come out and say “Antiguan citizen does” but i’ll look for the quote seeing how did it play a part.
Also what does improving education means exactly, does it meant you built the couple of schools, did Antigua average cxc results increase? Because I’ll tell you I don’t see that improvement.
Additionally I am not hooked on “climate resilience” which I’ll assume to the roads since that’s how it been use all this time, our roads bad for one reason it’s bad for multiple factors: 1 being shit patch work, 2 just being old and under maintain asphalt life is said to be about ~15years on average, 3 poor drainage. Building concrete roads in going to magically solve that if they are not made proper look at Lauchland Benjamin Drive it’s concrete but wasnt built on a good foundation so it’s falling apart
But I will say the international relations are decent from what I know so I’m happy with that for now
