1 Cayman Islands A. Definitions and sources of data Similar to other Caribbean Island states, the Cayman Islands is renowned for its financial industry and tourism. Although it has been tightening up its financial regulations, the country is still well respected for its financial services. Since the beginning of 2002, all banks are legally obliged to be physically present on the Cayman Islands. Furthermore, banks must abide by record-keeping laws. By creating stricter rules, the Cayman Islands try to improve its reputation. No data on foreign direct investment (FDI) are collected by the Government. The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority is, amongst some other issues, responsible for processing applications for banks, and bank and trust company licenses, insurance companies, insurance managers, brokers, agents or sub-agents and also for the supervision and regulation of mutual funds and mutual fund administrators. The Government has introduced incentives to encourage the setting up of local industries. The most important concession is that customs duty may be waived in full or in part in accordance with the following guidelines: Industries catering to the export market, with an investment exceeding CI$50,000 and employing at least four Caymanians for a minimum period of five years, may be granted full waiver of customs import duty on building materials and equipment machinery and tools of trade. Materials for use in the manufacturing process may also be granted waiver of import duty. Industries providing for the local market with an investment exceeding CI$25,000 and employing at least four Caymanians for a minimum period of three years may be granted waiver of customs import duty on building materials and equipment, machinery and tools of trade. Materials for use in the manufacturing process may also be granted waiver of import duty. A company not requiring a license to operate under the Local Companies (Control) Law, investing a sum of at least CI$10,000 in a new industry and employing at least two Caymanians for a minimum period of three years, may also be entitled to import duty concessions. The Cayman Islands is an associate member state of the Caribbean Community Common Market (CARICOM).
