Antigua and Barbuda’s 2026 budget puts people first. The government plans to boost social programs, improve public services, and strengthen the economy. These efforts aim to raise living standards for all citizens. From better schools to safer communities, every step is designed with people’s needs in mind.

The government will increase support for vulnerable families by expanding food vouchers and school meal programs. Utility subsidies will continue to ease the cost of living. Investments in health, education, and infrastructure are also set to improve. For example, sports facilities will get upgrades to help youth develop skills and confidence, while road repairs will make travel safer and easier.

Growth will come from tourism, agriculture, and small businesses. Big investment projects like hotels and resorts promise new jobs. The government is also helping farmers and entrepreneurs get better access to finance. This package is about steady economic progress that benefits everyone, not just a few. With this budget, Antigua and Barbuda aims for a stronger, fairer future.
