    Anguilla Economy - 2006

    https://theodora.com/wfbcurrent/anguilla/anguilla_economy.html
    SOURCE: 2006 CIA WORLD FACTBOOK

      Economy - overview:
      Anguilla has few natural resources, and the economy depends heavily on luxury tourism, offshore banking, lobster fishing, and remittances from emigrants. Increased activity in the tourism industry, which has spurred the growth of the construction sector, has contributed to economic growth. Anguillan officials have put substantial effort into developing the offshore financial sector, which is small, but growing. In the medium term, prospects for the economy will depend largely on the tourism sector and, therefore, on revived income growth in the industrialized nations as well as on favorable weather conditions.
