The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) is urging citizens across the region to shift their focus from traditional saving to active investing, as part of its mission to strengthen financial empowerment and build long-term wealth.

Governor Timothy N.J. Antoine emphasized that while saving remains important, investing is key to achieving economic resilience and independence. The ECCB’s goal is to foster a culture where individuals understand financial markets, explore regional investment opportunities, and contribute to the growth of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU).

Through financial education and new initiatives, the ECCB hopes to help people make informed decisions that support both personal financial security and broader economic development across member states, including Antigua and Barbuda.
