Global Investor Publishes New Reports on Antigua and Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands and Suriname

London, United Kingdom, October 9th, 2026, FinanceWire

New reports on Antigua and Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands and Suriname join Global Investor's coverage of Ghana, Mauritius and Seychelles, presenting emerging Caribbean and African economies to investors at two major London forums. 

Global Investor is expanding its Caribbean coverage through dedicated reports on Antigua and Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands and Suriname. Together, the editions present three distinct markets and the opportunities shaping their next phases of development.

The Caribbean is often approached as a single investment destination. In practice, its economies differ considerably in scale, specialisation, regulation and development priorities. Global Investor examines these differences while identifying the sectors, policies and partnerships connecting the region to international capital.

In Antigua and Barbuda, tourism remains a central economic driver, but the country's investment outlook is broadening. Hospitality, aviation, education, technology, healthcare and the blue economy are contributing to a more diversified growth model. Global Investor's edition brings together perspectives from government and business leaders on the infrastructure, skills and partnerships required to convert these opportunities into long-term economic activity.

The British Virgin Islands presents a different proposition. As an established international financial centre, the jurisdiction plays an important role in cross-border investment, corporate structuring and the movement of capital between markets. Global Investor's coverage considers how the BVI is responding to changing international standards while maintaining the legal, regulatory and professional-services expertise supporting its global position.

Suriname, meanwhile, is entering a defining period as its first offshore oil development moves into construction. The GranMorgu project in Block 58 represents an estimated investment of US$10.5 billion, with first oil scheduled for 2028. Its impact will extend beyond oil production, creating demand for infrastructure, logistics, technical services, workforce development and local supply chains. Global Investor Suriname 2026 examines how the country can use this investment to strengthen domestic capacity and support longer-term growth.

Together, the publications demonstrate the breadth of the Caribbean investment landscape. Antigua and Barbuda is building on tourism while developing new areas of economic activity. The BVI continues to serve international markets through financial and professional services. Suriname is preparing for the economic and operational demands of becoming an offshore oil producer.

Frauke Landi, Partner at Global Investor, said: "The Caribbean cannot be reduced to one investment narrative. Antigua and Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands and Suriname each offer a different proposition. Our role is to examine the projects, policies and people shaping these markets, while showing how they connect to the wider regional and international economy."

Across its publications, Global Investor looks beyond headline opportunities to consider the factors that influence whether investment can be implemented successfully, including regulation, infrastructure, local capacity, market access and partnerships.

The Caribbean editions form part of Global Investor’s wider 2026 portfolio, which also includes a selection of African markets. Within Africa, the upcoming edition will feature countries including Ghana, Mauritius and Seychelles. Their inclusion reflects Global Investor’s broader focus on Commonwealth markets and the strong economic, institutional and investment links that connect these regions.

The new edition of Global Investor will be distributed at AFSIC in London (13–14 October) and, exceptionally, at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), hosted by Antigua and Barbuda from 1–4 November.

By presenting Antigua and Barbuda, the British Virgin Islands and Suriname alongside other international editions, Global Investor introduces the Caribbean as a region of specialised and globally connected markets. For investors, the opportunity begins with understanding those distinctions.
