Inflation in Antigua and Barbuda eased significantly in 2025 as the country’s economy continued to expand, according to the International Monetary Fund’s latest assessment of the twin-island state.
The IMF said average inflation fell from more than 6 percent in 2024 to 1.4 percent in 2025, while economic growth remained positive despite slower tourism activity.
Real GDP growth was estimated at 3 percent in 2025, supported largely by increased construction activity, the report stated.
The IMF noted that employment has also gradually recovered to pre-pandemic levels as the economy continues its expansion.
The report pointed to stronger fiscal performance over the past two years, aided by improved tax collection, increased Citizenship-by-Investment Programme inflows and restraint in current spending.
Public debt also continued to decline, falling from 101 percent of GDP in 2020 to an estimated 68 percent in 2025.
Despite the easing inflation and continued growth, the IMF cautioned that risks to the economy remain tilted to the downside due to global uncertainty, commodity price volatility and potential slowdowns among major trading partners.
The IMF said upside potential could still emerge from stronger tourism demand, improved connectivity and productivity-enhancing reforms.

Any of these damn IMF officials ever shop or live here to witness our high costs of living, and the ever increasing price gouging on popular items in grocery stores and supermarkets up and down the country.
And let’s not forget that an ABLP official was going to tackle the ever growing price gouging – what happened to the results of that investigation?
IMF mentioning Inflation drops to 1.4%???
Move yourself IMF, gu way …
Ourvshopping basket and bill tells us differently
Trust me when UPP messed up the funds they realized how bad the situation was and nearly owned our country….U live under a rock Brixtonian??? Even if the percentage drops a lil bit it wont be noticeable in our pockets because of rising inflation everywhere due to decisions of super powers, first world countries and wars in the middle east, Ukraine etc….That maths has to add up Brixtonian a government can’t just drop prices willy nilly because it’s UPP in power it won’t balance out on the balance sheet and the country can face collapse….Yes inflation has dropped BRIX….I know u hate to hear that but it has…..
