Economy
The service sector, specifically tourism and financial services, is responsible for the great majority of economic output. Tourism accounts for approximately 40% of GDP.
The financial sector has been damaged by a series of scandals, which, along with growing competition from other Caribbean micro-states, has put its future viability in question.
GDP growth stood at 15.4% in 2006, with inflation figures estimated at 5.3%. Unemployment rates have remained steady at 9.8% in the last census in 2004.
