      Economy Anguilla

      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.
