PM BROWNE REACTS TO DE-RISKING PROGRESS 

Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne has called the latest development regarding de-risking, a major victory for the Caribbean.

The US Congress has now adopted a law in which new directives on de-risking have been included.

It follows persistent advocacy by Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister, Hon. Gaston Browne, and his diplomatic team in Washington DC, led by Ambassador Sir Ronald Sanders.

Prime Minister Browne has done this as the lead on Financial Services in the quasi-Cabinet of CARICOM Heads of Government.

The head of government today welcomed the development as a victory for not only Antigua and Barbuda, but the entire Caribbean.

He has thanked Chair of the Banking Committee of the US House of Representatives, Maxine Waters.
