Antigua and Barbuda's remittances received experienced significant fluctuations over the 40-year period from 1986 to 2025, with a notable all-time peak of 45,265,850.37 in 2021, surpassing peer country Eswatini's 33,730,951.55.

This decline can be attributed to various factors, including global economic conditions and shifts in international migration patterns. Remittances have played a crucial role in supporting the country's economy, accounting for a substantial portion of its GDP. To maintain this crucial source of revenue, Antigua and Barbuda must continue to foster strong ties with its diaspora communities and address economic and social challenges that may deter remittances. Future fluctuations in remittances will likely be influenced by changes in global migration policies and economic conditions, as well as the country's ability to adapt to these shifts.
