ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Regional economist McCarthy Marie believes a more volatile climate is a major reason residents have to dig deeper into their pockets for basic goods and foodstuff.
The former University of the West Indies (UWI) economics lecturer noted price inflation in Antigua & Barbuda is almost completely a result of global pressures.
“Given the fact that the weather around the world has been so chaotic, that has been driving down the amount of food produced,” Marie said.
