Antigua and Barbuda's government revenue was 22.29% in 2025, ranked 122nd globally. This represents a 4.0% increase from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Antigua and Barbuda's government revenue stood at 22.29% in 2025, a rise of +0.86% from 2024. The IMF projects 22.29% by 2025. Antigua and Barbuda ranked 122nd globally.
Antigua and Barbuda’s government revenue has risen steadily from an early‑record 18.25 in 1990 to 22.29 in 2025, placing the country 122nd globally according to the IMF World Economic Outlook. The upward trajectory peaked in 2016 at 23.64 before a modest decline to a trough of 15.61 in 2001, reflecting the fiscal strain of the early‑2000s recession and subsequent recovery. Over the 36‑year coverage period, revenue as a share of GDP has consistently outperformed many small island economies, closely matching the 22.51 recorded by Puerto Rico and the 22.55 of St. Lucia, while remaining above the 21.84 of Mali. The post‑peak moderation suggests that fiscal consolidation measures and a diversified tax base have limited further gains, yet the recent increase to 22.29 indicates resilience amid global uncertainty. Continued investment in tourism, renewable energy and digital services could sustain the upward trend, provided external shocks are managed and fiscal policy remains supportive.
