The State of E-commerce in Antigua
The island of Antigua has limited legislation concerning e-commerce in their country. Currently,
there are three Acts which address e-commerce or online monetary transactions. These will be
discussed below.
In summation, it is seen that Antigua and Barbuda are not to be left out of the move to e-
commerce from traditional systems. These Acts have been around for over ten years. Having the
appropriate legislation is important, and though the list is by no means exhaustive, it has
certainly laid a deep foundation for the country to build on.
