Antigua and Barbuda by International Monetary Fund. Western Hemisphere Dept. Pdf

Antigua and Barbuda’s economy is on a gradual recovery path, following a sharp contraction in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher food and fuel prices are adding to inflation, eroding real incomes, and exacerbating fiscal and external imbalances. The economy is projected to grow by 6 percent in 2022 supported by tourism and construction activity, but output will return to pre-pandemic levels only by 2025 due to scarring effects of the pandemic. Inflation is expected to accelerate to 81⁄2 percent in 2022, reflecting the pass-through of global prices to the domestic economy. Continued fiscal consolidation efforts and the growth recovery are bringing down the primary deficit and debt-to-GDP ratio, but gross financing needs are high and arrears continue to be accrued. The financial system has adequate capital and liquidity buffers, with stable NPLs so far, but private sector credit growth is weak. Further commodity price shocks, a sharper-than-expected slowdown in key trading partners, a resurgence of COVID, tighter global financial conditions, lower citizenship-byinvestment revenues, and the ever-present threat of natural disasters all represent material downside risks.

Antigua and Barbuda by International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept. Pdf

The purpose of this Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) performance assessment is to provide an objective analysis of the present performance of the public financial management system in Antigua and Barbuda, and identify changes incurred since the last PEFA assessment undertaken in 2010. In the wake of a prolonged economic crisis, fiscal outcomes have not been consistent with the budget as approved. Central government public finances are comprehensively presented in budget documents, but some weaknesses persist. New policy initiatives and their budgetary implications are not sufficiently analyzed; a significant share of extra-budgetary expenditures remains unreported; and oversight and reporting requirements of statutory bodies are not yet fully enforced, impeding a comprehensive assessment of the associated fiscal risks. Although the revenue administration has been strengthened over the last years, the control over budget execution is still weak. There have been improvements in the quality of external audit, but lack of Parliamentary scrutiny undermines the accountability framework.

The global slowdown has severely affected Antigua and Barbuda’s economy through its impact on tourist arrivals, FDI inflows and remittances, and fiscal revenue. The recession and associated fiscal crisis coincides with already weak public finances and mounting problems in the financial sector. The authorities have taken decisive action to address the fiscal crisis and set the stage for a sustained recovery. The scope for restructuring public debt with domestic banks is limited, and financial sector reform is paramount.
