Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Antigua & Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU), Charmaine Quinland-Donovan, has assured all industry participants, new citizens and the general public, that citizenships granted, and the resulting travel documents issued under the country’s citizenship by investment programme (CIP), have been processed in accordance with the law, and international best practices.
“The benefits of the program to the people of Antigua & Barbuda are significant,” the CEO said. “More than US$200 million from inception to date have come from the CIP. Therefore, neither the government nor the unit would undertake any measures that would undermine the effective administration and standing of the program, or compromise the mobility of Antiguan & Barbudan citizens”. Quinland-Donovan confirmed that the earnings of the programme have been utilized to service the International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan; meet monthly Social Security and pension shortfalls; support the solid waste cleanup programme; contribute to the project to provide affordable homes for Antiguans and Barbudans, and support the Barbuda Council in meeting its expenses.
