Antigua & Barbuda is continuing to prove its first class citizenship, according to the recently published 2017 Henley & Partners Quality of Nationality Index (QNI).
Antigua & Barbuda positioned itself as number one in the OECS Citizen by Investment (CIP) territories, securing the 56 positions in the world for its Quality of Citizenship.
Prof. Dr. Dimitry Kochenov, a leading constitutional and citizenship law professor and co-creator of the Index, says the key premise of the QNI is that it is possible to compare the relative worth of nationalities as opposed to simply that of states.
“In today’s globalized world, the legal status of millions of nationals extends their opportunities and desires far beyond their countries of origin: the confines of the state are simply not the limit of their ambitions and expectations. Using a sophisticated combination of quantifiable data derived from leading international institutions and experts, including the United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Air Transport Association, the QNI measures the internal value of nationality, which refers to the quality of life and opportunities for personal growth within our country of origin, as well as the external value of nationality, which identifies the diversity and quality of opportunities that our nationality allows us to pursue outside our country of origin.
Although Antigua and Barbuda scored 41.9% on the index, 1% less than in the previous year, Managing Partner for Henley & Partners Antigua state that this is a great achievement for the CIP territory as it is an indication of the quality of investment prospective investors can expect when deciding on a CIP territory.
The QNI looks beyond simple visa-free tourist or business travel and takes a number of other crucial factors into account: those that make one nationality a better legal status through which to develop your talents and business than another. The recent accomplishment is equally beneficial to the citizens of Antigua & Barbuda as it could mean increased financial contributions to its economy, resulting in improved quality of life.
Other OCES territories ranking on the QNI are the Grenadian nationality which scored 39.4%, 0.5% more than in the previous year; the St. Kitts and Nevis nationality which did not change in value, scoring 41.5% in 2017 and the St. Lucian nationality which scored 39.4%, 0.2% less than in the previous year.

Did you give Baldwin spencer the same instructions.
I wonder if Ms. Massiah and the UPP still thinks we should shut it down.
Being that it was their brainchild. I wonder if all these cry-babaies who kee posting on this sit remeber that. I wonder if Antiguans were so blind to elect the UPP as the governament would the remove it, like how their esteem leader says he was going to remove the fuel varition tax in 2004 but kept rising in.
Btw when the PM mention that the LGBTQ want u to Chang our laws and all of you suddenly turned Christian remember that Canada is one o the biggest supporters of the LGBTQ just a Tasheka Lavan and Prince
