Prime Minister the Hon. Gaston Browne on Thursday is presenting his government’s 2025 Budget Statement outlining that Antigua and Barbuda is poised for greater accomplishments in the coming year.
The Prime Minister’s Budget tagged “Creating a Resilient, Harmonios, and Prosperous Nation,” highlights the country’s remarkable growth rate over the years and predicts that the nation will achieve remarkable real GDP growth of at least 6 per cent in 2024, surpassing the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) global growth projection of 3.2 per cent.
Prime Minister Browne says that this performance outstrips major economies such as the United States, the Euro area, and the United Kingdom.
“Over the past three years, from 2021 to 2023, we have maintained an impressive average annual growth rate of 7.4 per cent. In our region, only Guyana, with its burgeoning oil and gas sector, has exceeded our growth rate.This achievement is a testament to the effective management of our economy and the resilience of our people,” he said.
The IMF projected robust economic performance for Antigua and Barbuda, anticipating real GDP growth of 5.8 per cent in 2024 and 3.5 per cent in 2025.
“We have surpassed the 2024 projection and are confident that, with the continued support and contribution of every working person in our country, we will exceed the 3.5 per cent growth forecast for 2025.These figures are not mere statistics; they reflect the unwavering spirit of our people and the soundness of our economic strategies and policies,” Prime Minister Browne pointed out.
The Prime Minister stated that the country is poised for even greater accomplishments in 2025.

I am watching the Prime Minister delivery on the BUDGET. Our Prime Minister is the best Lesder in the WORLD.
How can anyone Match Jamale Pringle to Hon. Gaston Browne. UPP MPS need to educate Themselves.
tune in for the upcoming Budget Debate. Maybe we will get another “CA-CA-CA-PASSY-TAH” from the Hon. Jamale Pringle
Daryll Matthew, you know all that you say is a big lie The UPP does not dismiss higher education for Antiguans. And you know it.
You were your cousin, Kiron campaign manager. In the middle of his campaign for Rural South you turned traitor and went over to Gaston Browne. Traitor! Those things are eventually paid for. You wait and see.
Have your forgotten that you were part of the UPP when the Five Islands Secondary school was acquired for the young people of the Rural West community by the Hon Baldwin Spencer? You must remember that the UPP had already set up a committee to work on the University of Antigua and they had started too present their plans?
But your spiteful leader who doesn’t want anything UPP did good to be acceptable to the nation decided to rob those poor children of their secondary school. Bow Tie Michael Browne saw the school and decided that it was too good for picky-head people children. Wicked? Spiteful! When are you and Gaston Browne going to give back the children their school?
You have to remember the reasons for building that secondary school. It was to service the young people of that constituency and others areas because Ottos Comprehensive and PMS were overcrowded. You know that. The base was identified by the UPP as the perfect place (and still is) to turn into the centre of higher learning.
When your new boss Gaston Browne brought on board a man like Beckles who saw this as a way to rekindle his fading legacy, you became a choir boy to your leader.
It was well known that that school at Five Islands was not suited to be a University. At least in the tradition of the UWI that many here graduated from. All the UWI’s have specialties. What is this one?
The worse part is that your ministry has cannabalized the State College to make up numbers there of persons who do not even have entry qualifications. The place is like a glorified Sixth Form and the institutions of addition learning are all suffering while Gaston Browne plows ever cent of the education budget into the B & B (Browne and Beckles) University.
Gaston Browne radio station has two hard-tone man who acting like they are the only people to go to a university. The muscle one is suddenly the brightest man on Antigua. He now knows everything and loves to correct people. He knows that what Daryl is saying about UPP is not true but as long as he could go down Five Islands he does not care.
So stop the lying, traitor Daryl. These things could come back to haunt you. Not the Dawg. He is highly favoured by the evil one.
