Antigua & Barbuda has climbed 17 places on the United Nations Human Development Index.

The twin-island nation now stands at 54 among 193 countries, up from its previous ranking of 71.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has hailed this achievement as being particularly notable in light of the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic which saw the country losing 18 percent of GDP.

He said the government has been growing the economy by an average of about eight per cent per annum since the onset of the pandemic.

In the Caribbean region, Antigua & Barbuda now ranks second, after St Kitts & Nevis.

Jamaica ranks 115th out of 193 countries on the 2023 Human Development Index.
