This declined by a further $38.83 million in 2023 to $371.03 million, and again by $38.89 million in 2024 to $332.14 million.
The latest reduction of $39.75 million marks the largest since 2021.
It said: “The Government of Anguilla continues to demonstrate disciplined fiscal management, with a clear and sustained reduction in public debt over the past year.”
Anguilla’s debt is governed by the Fiscal Responsibility Act and Framework for Fiscal Sustainability and Development (FFSD).
The post said the reduction reflects the “government of the day’s consistent servicing of debt obligations and its commitment to timely repayments”.
“This steady downward movement in debt strengthens Anguilla’s financial position, reinforces national credibility,” it said, adding that it allows greater fiscal space to support priority areas.
The Ministry of Finance’s latest Public Debt Quarterly Bulletin covers the third quarter of 2025 from July to September.
The statement said the government remains committed to transparency and will continue to publish regular public debt bulletins to keep the public informed.
