Cayman
Islands
The Cayman Islands
are an English-speaking Dependent Territory of the United Kingdom,
located in the Caribbean between Cuba and Central America. There
are two international airports, one in George Town, Grand Cayman
and the other in Cayman Brac. Aabout nine major airlines fly to
Cayman and there are daily flights to Miami and weekly flights to
major North American and European cities.
Cayman
is politically stable; under the 1972 constitution, the Governor
represents the Queen and assigns portfolio responsibilities to five
elected Ministers of Government, although the constitutional relationship
between the Cayman Islands and the UK is undergoing change. There
are no taxes in the Cayman Islands: Government revenue comes from
customs duties, stamp duty and annual fees levied on corporations.
The population of 46,600 is of mixed British and Jamaican stock,
with more than 70 nationalities present in the work-force. The economy
is highly dependent on tourism, with financial services also important.
Cayman
is the largest offshore banking centre in the world with 350 banks
and deposits worth about US$1.7 trillion. It is the second largest
captive insurance base after Bermuda, with assets worth $20 bn.
The Cayman Islands trust sector is thought to manage more than $500
bn. Mutual funds are a growing sector, especially since the opening
of the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange in 1997. The Cayman Islands
have emerged as a predominant registration base for hedge funds;
CDO and other securitization instruments have also taken a firm
hold.
