In a significant move to boost economic growth, the plans for the upcoming Local Investment Conference are gaining momentum with greater involvement from the Cabinet.
While the Antigua and Barbuda Investment Authority (ABIA) will spearhead the initiative, the collective input from the entire Cabinet aims to enhance its overall impact and success.
The Cabinet believes that many individuals currently earning a mere 2% interest on their savings will be intrigued by the promising investment proposals that the ABIA is set to unveil. These recommendations are expected to offer far superior returns, enticing depositors to explore more fruitful avenues for their finances.
As preparations continue, the Cabinet is optimistic that the conference will not only provide valuable insights into investment opportunities but also foster a renewed sense of confidence among investors.
More details about the event and its offerings are anticipated in the coming weeks, paving the way for a potential shift in how residents manage their savings and investments in Antigua and Barbuda.
I hope the conference addresses how regular citizens can get involved in these investments without needing a lot of capital upfront. And to add a question following this, what is the effect of this on small businesses? Most generally the youths who are trying to build something probably even from just their parents income after all the bills are payed. Will there be opportunities for for those entrepreneurs to get involved? or will this just be centered to those in the upper class of life?
