What the data says about Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda sits in the high-income bracket but outside the OECD's harmonized reporting network, so its statistics come straight from the World Bank, WHO, and ILO source series rather than a jointly reconciled OECD dataset - still official, but with less cross-checking between agencies than an OECD member gets. Because output and income figures are converted at market exchange rates into current dollars, they can swing with currency movements independent of any real change in living standards, and for a small economy like this one that swing shows up more visibly in the headline numbers than it would for a larger country. The fuller picture comes from comparing Antigua and Barbuda against income-tier peers of a similar size.

Antigua and Barbuda clears the upper third of the GDP/cap roster (#69 of 214) under HIC with a PEAK life-expectancy stamp.

In Latin America & Caribbean, Antigua and Barbuda's 93.8K residents produce $2.2 billion of GDP (190th worldwide) at $23,060 per person. Life expectancy 77.8 years (77th) stamps PEAK. The 31-series panel below is the working surface - not a restated national brochure.
