PM Browne Authors Booklet on Strategies for Sustaining Social Security
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced the upcoming release of a comprehensive booklet detailing strategies to ensure the sustainability of Antigua and Barbuda’s Social Security Scheme.
Browne made the announcement during his appearance on the Browne and Browne show on Saturday.
The booklet, titled “The Transfer of Jolly Beach to Social Security: A Strategic Imperative,” is authored by Prime Minister Browne himself.
In it, he presents a thorough rationale and financial analysis in support of transferring the Jolly Beach Resort to the Social Security Fund.
He underscored that this initiative aligns with the government’s overarching vision of Entrepreneurial Socialism (Empowerment Capitalism)—a model in which collaborations between the state and the private sector foster national wealth.
It also addresses a strategic investment in reducing foreign dependence, which seeks to move away from outdated colonial economic systems that leave key assets in foreign hands.
In the introduction of the booklet, the government reaffirms its commitment to fostering a self-sufficient Antigua and Barbuda.
It also highlights successes from Browne’s tenure, such as the West Indies Oil Company, which is now predominantly owned by the government and the citizens of Antigua and Barbuda.
