PM Browne Says Government Focused on Sharing Economic Gains With All Citizens
Prime Minister Gaston Browne says economic growth must translate into real benefits for ordinary Antiguans and Barbudans, particularly the poor and most vulnerable, as the country records strong economic performance.
Appearing on the Morning Point Show, Browne said the government’s focus is not only on expanding the economy but on ensuring that prosperity is broadly shared. “We are determined to socialise the economic gains so that everyone benefits, including the poor and the vulnerable,” he said.
Browne stressed that headline growth figures mean little if citizens do not feel the impact in their daily lives. “Economic growth by itself is not enough if people cannot see and feel the benefits,” he told the programme.
The prime minister said the administration’s policy approach is aimed at ensuring that development improves living standards across society, rather than concentrating wealth in a narrow segment of the population. “The objective is to make sure that ordinary people benefit from the growth that is taking place,” he said.
His remarks come amid ongoing public discussion about cost-of-living pressures, even as Antigua and Barbuda continues to record strong performance in tourism and related sectors.
Browne said inclusive growth is essential for long-term stability, arguing that economic success must be matched by social responsibility. “When growth is shared, it strengthens the entire society,” he said.

Same shit different day.
I ain’t gonna cap this government is trying really hard to please the people and make Antigua the power house envisioned…Yeah they can pay more attention to here and there but this government still the better government in my opinion…
Ur better because he is not allowing people here to partake I. The medical cannabis industry without investing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Which shows he is letting the rich control the industry. And all the rastas are doing is selling weed illegally to adults and children
Talk about getting priorities wrong and creating a discriminatory nature within the industry. So instead of letting the common folk get into the meaningful avenues of entrepreneurialship and owning their own businesses, he wants us all dependant on the state. Let’s see how that goes, because up to now the state can’t pay it’s salaries on time. As with everything Antiguan, nothing works. Why is this going to be different
More “word salad” 🥗 from an out of touch Prime Minister, who still has workers in the public and private sectors that have outstanding monies owed to them; pensioners not knowing whether or not if they’ll be paid on their due dates; teachers in recent times still complaining that backpay is owed; and former LIAT workers awaiting their severance packages.
Should I go on? Because I can …
And again, here we have Gaston Browne blatantly informing Antiguans that: “…government focused on sharing economic gains with all citizens”.
WHO KEEPS FALLING FOR HIS PIE IN THE SKY NONSENSICAL RHETORIC?
I keep telling you all, that this Prime Minister is looking to overtake Lester Bird’s own atrocious Premiership record of Antigua.
He getting damn close!
It’s only his diehard acolytes, lickspittlers, sycophants and Gastonites saving he a#se. Fact!
Now that GB is cornered, it’s now he has compassion for the poor?
Now that he knows that WIOC shares are going to drop off the cliff because of the US involvement in the prices of Venezuela oil money, it’s now he coming to the people with this foolishness?
CIP soon dry up, and certainly the oil money, so I don’t know what will left to share!
This man is slick mouth talker.
Guess you are now feeling guilty having taken it all so far for yourself and your cronies.
Political gimmick lmao 🤣 😂 and the fools will fall for these lies,you hear lies, well that’s lie
Gaston is under pressure and the pressure valve is being closed tight.
One can expect a lot of false promises at a time like this to ease the pressure.
The Prosperity is only going in the same limited number of peoples pockets.
I’ll ask Gaston. Question. How many new businesses were registered in 3 last year by local Antiguans?
How many of those businesses consistently employs 5 people who are not family members?
He cannot provide credible date credible data produced by independent sources
Such data would give a true picture of business formation and local economic development.
Gaston and his government do not keep those figures; he makes up his wish list to fool the public.
It’s all rhetorical non substantiated pie in the sky.
If I’m wrong provide the source where the data can be obtained
I challenge Gatson Browne and anyone in his government to provide where the data can be readily obtained digitally.
But it was Gaston on his radio station saying stop an Antiguan family that invested in a oil tanker ship to sell fuel to ships around our water and Gaston said it with vengeance that he block them from making money, and with a phoney excuse that they might be selling Russian sanction oil, but I heard him and saying to myself he is such a liar and usurper of public wealth that he saying how Venezuela oil is sanction and the Antiguan citizen that invested their monies can’t sell it here, but the same WIOC and ALP buying the same fuel from Venezuela.
Now he in trouble he there saying nice things to people to ride out this tidal wave against him and ALP.
Sharing Economic gains sounds very nice and sincere to get votes for the upcoming election. What I want to know is why I have not seen any money deposited in my account at First Caribbean for my shares in West Indies Oil Company and I’m talking more than a year. Explain that my PM, I took your advice and invested
@ Eldread,
When are the people of Antigua Barbuda whose grandmothers and fathers live through the 1950 hurricane going realize Gaston Browne is a charlatan and scam artist.
The descendants of that and prior generations gm are being marginalized each and everyday by Gaston Browne
They are owners this land. kidnapped by their very African brothers and earned this land through unpaid wages and brutality for generations.
When are our we going to come to our senses and realize that Gaston Browne is the enemy. What does it take for say WTFU?
May the spirits of this earth come to our rescue one day and not too soon
