The economy of the Cayman Islands, a
British overseas territory located in the western Caribbean Sea, is
mainly fueled by the tourism sector and by the financial services
sector, together representing 70-80 percent of the country's gross
domestic product (GDP). The Cayman Island Investment Bureau, a
government agency, has been established with the mandate of promoting
investment and economic development in the territory.
The emergence of what are now considered the Cayman Islands' "twin
pillars of economic development" (tourism and international finance)
started in the 1950s with the introduction of modern transportation and
telecommunications.

History
From the earliest settlement of the Cayman Islands, economic activity
was hindered by isolation and a limited natural resource base. The
harvesting of sea turtles to resupply passing sailing ships was the
first major economic activity on the islands, but local stocks were
depleted by the 1790s. Agriculture, while sufficient to support the
small early settler population, has always been limited by the scarcity
of available land. Fishing, shipbuilding, and cotton production boosted
the economy during the early days of settlement. In addition, settlers
scavenged shipwreck remains from the surrounding coral reefs.
The boom in the Cayman Islands' international finance industry can also
be at least partly attributed to the British overseas territory having
no direct taxation. A popular legend attributes the tax-free status to
the heroic acts of the inhabitants during a maritime tragedy in 1794,
often referred to as "Wreck of the Ten Sails". The wreck involved
nine British merchant vessels and their naval escort, the frigate HMS
Convert, that ran aground on the reefs off Grand Cayman. Due to the
rescue efforts by the Caymanians using canoes, the loss of life was
limited to eight. However, records from the colonial era indicate
that Cayman Islands, then a dependency of Jamaica, was not tax-exempt
during the period that followed. In 1803, the inhabitants signed a
petition addressed to the Jamaican governor asking him to grant them a
tax exemption from the "Transient Tax on Wreck Goods".
International finance and tourism
The Cayman Islands' tax-free status has attracted numerous banks and
other companies to its shores.
More than 40,000 companies were registered in the Cayman Islands as of
2000, including almost 600 banks and trust companies, with banking
assets exceeding $500 billion. Large corporations based in the Cayman
Islands include Seagate Technology, Semiconductor Manufacturing
International Corporation (SMIC), Garmin Ltd. and Transocean Inc. The
Cayman Islands Stock Exchange was opened in 1997.
Tourism is also a mainstay, accounting for about 70% of GDP and 75% of
foreign currency earnings. The tourist industry is
aimed at the luxury market and caters mainly to visitors from North
America. Unspoiled beaches, duty-free shopping, scuba diving, and
deep-sea fishing draw almost a million visitors to the islands each
year. Due to the well-developed tourist industry, many citizens work in
service jobs in that sector.
Standard of living
Because the islands cannot produce enough goods to support the
population, about 90% of their food and consumer goods must be imported.
In addition, the islands have few natural fresh water resources.
Desalination of sea water is used to solve this. Despite those
challenges, the Caymanians enjoy one of the highest outputs per capita
and one of the highest standards of living in the world. The Cayman
Islands produces gourmet sea salt.
Education is compulsory to the age of 16 and is free to all Caymanian
children. Most schools follow the British educational system. Ten
primary, one special education, a high school and a middle school
('junior high school') are operated by the government, along with three
private high schools. In addition, there is a law school, a
university-college and a medical school.
