MANAGeMeNT of loAN PorTfolio LOAN DISBURSEMENT Following its plan to utilize excess funds for the provision of more mortgages, Community First Co-operative Credit Union (CFCCU) disbursed loans for mortgages and property purchases to seventy (70) members during 2008 as compared to twenty-three (23) members in 2007. Assistance was given to two (2) members in the construction of apartment buildings. We take this opportunity to advise our members that they should not borrow if they are over the age of 70 years. One thousand, two hundred and ninety-seven (1297) loans were disbursed in 2008 compared to One thousand, four hundred and thirty-six (1436) in 2007.

As native English speakers, Antiguans and Barbudans could escalate to the better-paid activities in technical call centres, business process outsourcing (BPO), international finance, international insurance and software development. The presence of the ABIIT, and the cadre of trained and certified technicians being produced, represents a strength on which to build. Prior to regulatory and legal challenges, the number of sports-book and gaming operators in Antigua and Barbuda was testament to the quality of people and telecommunications infrastructure which supported these operations. In fact, several thousand well trained employees and a marked increase in commercial space were by-products. This combination allows for a resur-

ian Richards Cricket Stadium, the Transport Board headquarters and infrastructural development. In the private sector, activity centered on constructing and expanding a number of hotels, condominiums and guest houses. Activity related to the building of residential properties remained at a high level. The expansion in overall construction activity was partly reflected in increases in commercial bank credit to construction companies and to households for home construction and renovation. Tourism activity, as measured by value-added in the hotels and restaurants sector, grew by 2.6 per
Of the other service sectors, output in the wholesale and retail trades sector rose by 9.7 per cent, largely driven by growth in the demand for consumer durables and building materials, partly associated with the expansion in construction activity. Value added in the transport sector grew by 13.4 per cent, in contrast to the 2.3 per cent decrease recorded in 2005, primarily reflecting a higher level of activity in the “road transport” and “sea transport” sub-sectors. This outturn is consistent with developments in tourism and construction. Output of electricity and water rose by 5.4 per cent, reflecting continued increases in electricity consumption, partly attributed to the higher level of economic activity. Increases in value added were also recorded for the mining and quarrying (45.0 per cent), banks and insurance (7.0 per cent), communications (5.0 per cent) and government services (5.4 per cent) sectors.

Real Sector Performance 2006 Preliminary data shows that real GDP in Antigua and Barbuda grew by 12.2 per cent in 2006, following growth of 5.5 per cent in 2005, primarily fuelled by construction and supported by tourism. Activity in the construction sector continued to provide the impetus for growth in 2006, increasing by 35.0 per cent compared with growth of 19.5 per cent in 2005. The sector’s contribution to GDP rose by 3.2 percentage points to 18.9 per cent in 2006. Activity in this sector was driven by developments in both the public and private sectors, largely associated with Cricket World Cup (CWC) 2007. Public sector activity focussed on the Sir Viv-

The number of stay-over visitors rose by 2.4 percent to 273,414 in 2006. Stayover arrivals from the USA increased by 6.2 percent, partly reflecting additional airlift from Delta airlines and increased marketing; the tourism product was rebranded, and some hotels offered special romantic packages during the summer months. Growth was also recorded for stay-over arrivals from Germany (15.5 per cent), France (11.9 per cent) and the Caribbean (10.4 per cent).

health/wellness, business support and financial services. Additional investment in the health sector in the country would also entice more retirees to settle and/or have a second home in Antigua and Barbuda, fostering the development of more residential condominiums and time-share resorts. ICT training directly opens the possibility for
technical support centers and perhaps software development based in Antigua. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda and the Antigua & Barbuda Investment Authority envisage improved opportunities in the local economy. We are confident that the mandate of the Authority can be effectively carried out with a multi-sectoral and collaborative effort. Further, the synergies of private and public sector co-operation are critical to the success of this effort. The Authority is identifying and nurturing a network of key allies, and seeking their commitment to partner in its efforts. We are committed to supporting all beneficial investment proposals presented for our consideration, and encourage investors to explore the many investment opportunities in Antigua and Barbuda.

Financial Sector Performance 2006 Domestic credit grew by 13.2 per cent to $1,897.4m. Credit to the private sector rose by 20.4 per cent, reflecting increased borrowing by business entities (24.7 per cent) and households (20.4 per cent). The rise in domestic credit was tempered by a 25.3 per cent decline in the central government’s net indebtedness to the banking system. This outturn was attributed to more than a four fold increase of the central government’s stock of deposits with commercial banks, largely reflecting inflows from the issue of treasury bills and bonds during the period under review. The increase in the net deposits of non-financial public enterprises (25.8 per cent) reflected a decrease in outstanding loans to these institutions as well as an increase in their level of deposits. The distribution of credit by economic activity shows that construction companies consumed the largest portion of commercial bank credit extended to the productive sectors. Credit for construction increased by 47.0 per cent in 2006, reflecting the highest level of activity in that sector. This was supported by an 8.0 per cent increase in credit to households for acquisition of property, which includes home construction and renovation. Of the other productive sectors, outstanding loans for tourism rose
by 38.0 per cent, partly reflecting the efforts by some businesses to prepare for the 2006/07 tourist season, while declines were recorded for outstanding loans to the distributive trades (3.1 per cent) and manufacturing (12.5 per cent) sectors. The commercial banking sector continued to operate with a high level of liquidity during 2006. The ratio of liquid assets to total deposits plus liquid liabilities, which measures commercial banks’ ability to meet short term obligations, increased by 0.7 percentage point to 45.7 per cent. The loans and advances to total deposits ratio fell by 1.6 percentage points to 77.6 per cent. The cash reserve to deposits ratio stood at 9.8 per cent. There were some adjustments to interest rates during 2006. The maximum rate on demand deposits rose by 1.0 percentage point to 4.0 per cent, while the maximum rate on savings deposits increased by 50.0 basis points to 4.75 per cent. The rates offered on all categories of time deposits ranged from 1.0 per cent to 7.0 per cent in 2006, compared with a range of 1.0 per cent to 5.75 per cent in 2006. Prime lending rates remained stable and ranged from 10.0 per cent to 11.5 per cent.
Looking Forward Projections going forward indicate that the prospects for investment are favourable, as there is a concerted effort by the Government to enhance and upgrade infrastructure in the short term. Among the ongoing projects is the runway extension and overlay, and the completion of the parallel taxiway and terminal
building, all at a cost of EC$297 million. The continued road works programme, as well as the construction of the bus terminal and car park, will result in a further public sector injection of $126.5 million. It is within this boyant economic environment and improving infrastructure that the ABIA encourages
investors to make full use of the available concessions and incentives. We welcome your proposals for the expansion of existing enterprises, as well as the development of new business opportunities, and commit ourselves to working with you to ensure the continued expansion of the economy.

For it’s 35th Anniversary Celebrations, the Dynamics Mas Troupe wanted to rebrand itself around the event while raising it’s appeal to a wider audience. We first developed the concept of the 35 vintage yet decorative love and have it a healthy coating of gold, royal blue and white. We needed colours that would standout against the range of applications which included tickets, flyers, launch videos and a website showcasing the costumes while giving history on the troupe and the occasion.

systems at the Stanford 20/20 Stadium in Antigua. One of the most lucrative and well-attended cricket events in the history of the sport, Heritage Security played an important role in the event’s successful crowd control strategy, at which standards were set higher than usual due to the world-wide television coverage and highly publicized nature of the matches. Heritage Security has also won numerous other crowd-control and monitoring contracts in the Caribbean, including World Cup Cricket matches and large-scale regional music festivals. Government of Antigua, Ministry of Communications (2009 – present): The Government of Antigua and Barbuda contracted Heritage Security to supply and install a sophisticated surveillance system at telecommunications sites on the island’s highest mountaintop. These remote sites are of strategic importance to the national security of the country, and Heritage Security is proud to enjoy the confidence of the government of Antigua and Barbuda. Mount St. John Medical Center (2006 – present) is one of the most state-of-the-art hospitals in the Caribbean. A politically sensitive institution, the hospital was and remains at risk for acts of sabotage. Of the many bidders, Heritage Security was selected to provide protective services to the medical facility and millions of dollars of medical

Our past and present clients are testimony to the depth and breadth of our experience, our diversity, our ability to operate globally and under challenging conditions, and our commitment to providing electronic and physical security solutions to clients ranging from small, private entities to governmental and military organizations.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (1997 – 2001): Heritage successfully implemented one of the largest federally managed housing property security contracts in the United States in some of the most challenging crime-and-drug infested urban environments in Washington, D.C. and New York, including the notorious Clifton Terrace. Drawing on the tactical expertise of a number of ex-Marine and ex-military armed security guards, Heritage security teams successfully met the challenges of what has been described as an “urban war zone,” offering protection to the inhabitants of public housing against the terror of drug dealers, gang and other criminal activity (see Appendix C, Washington Post articles describing conditions AT Clifton Terrace, and the subsequent turnaround following the successful intervention of Heritage Security). U.S. Army - Fort Shafter, Hawaii (1999 – 2000): Our experience in providing armed guard services for the U.S. military services is evidence of our familiarity in operating an armed guard force for institutions of maximum security. All our guards at this facility, and in all of the military facilities listed below in our client list, were trained

the International Ship and Port Security, which made it mandatory for all ports to become compliant with new security standards upheld by the Code. Core staff of Heritage Security, already trained and ISPScertified, was in record time able to hire additional security staff at the port, re-train and re-engineer the physical and electronic security standards at the Antigua port to be in full compliance with the ISPS Code by deadline, within a very short start-up framework.
Heritage core personnel is thus experienced in handling the security risks and threats involved in such highly sensitive, vulnerable environments, where bombings and other forms of violent attacks are a reality. Heritage brings a wealth of experience in providing security services in these high threat areas (see Appendix B, Heritage Security Inc newsletter of December 2000). -6-
