Antigua and Barbuda continues to maintain its fuel subsidy programme as the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) faces a daily fuel bill approaching $900,000, according to Antigua News Room.
The significant daily expenditure underscores the considerable financial burden the subsidy places on the authority, while the government has opted to keep the relief measure in place for residents.
Details surrounding the duration of the subsidy, its funding mechanism, and any government review of the policy were reported by Antigua News Room as part of its coverage of the development.
The scale of APUA's daily fuel costs highlights the ongoing challenge facing energy providers across the Caribbean, where fuel import prices continue to exert pressure on public utilities and national budgets alike.
