Overview
Antigua and Barbuda's gross savings stood at 24.73% in 2025, a decline of +0.50% from 2024. The IMF projects 24.73% by 2025. Antigua and Barbuda ranked 55th globally.
Antigua and Barbuda’s gross savings ratio has risen sharply from an all‑time trough of 5.12 percent in 2014 to a peak of 29.95 percent in 2019, before settling at 24.73 percent in 2025, placing the nation 55th in the world. The rapid accumulation of savings over the 12‑year series reflects a combination of fiscal consolidation, higher private sector retention of earnings and modest growth in external inflows, which together have lifted the savings share to a level comparable with peers such as Bosnia and Herzegovina (24.87 percent) and Chad (24.73 percent). While the 2025 figure remains below the 2019 high, it marks a substantial improvement from the early low‑point and suggests a more resilient balance‑sheet position for households and the government. Continued diversification of the economy and sustained fiscal discipline could further elevate the savings ratio, whereas a reversal in external demand or fiscal setbacks might stall the upward trajectory.
