2 Currency and Exchange Rate Policy
As a member of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU), Antigua and Barbuda does not have an independent currency and exchange rate policy. Since 1976, the Monetary Council, under the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), has been responsible for formulating monetary and exchange rate policies for the entire Eastern Caribbean region. The currency of the Eastern Caribbean region is the Eastern Caribbean dollar, which is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed exchange rate of 1 US dollar to 2.7 Eastern Caribbean dollars. Like other Eastern Caribbean countries, Antigua and Barbuda imposes controls on foreign exchange transactions that are not trade-related.
Each person is limited to purchasing foreign exchange equivalent to one hundred thousand Eastern Caribbean dollars per year, and any excess must be approved by the Ministry of Finance. In 1997, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank proposed to raise the limit to two hundred fifty thousand Eastern Caribbean dollars, but Antigua and Barbuda has not yet made this change, although the government has indicated that it is under consideration. In recent years, the demand for liquidity in both the public and private sectors has led to an increase in loans, which is reflected in the expansion of monetary debt. Broad money (M2) grew by 38% between 1997 and 1998. Considering the economic growth factors in 1999 and 2000, the current liquidity situation is relatively tight. However, interest rates have remained stable, with the benchmark lending rate maintained between 10.5% and 12%.
