Further Information about Expat Life and the Local Economy on the Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands encompass three Caribbean islands with some of the most beautiful coastline in the region. The islands are an extremely popular destination for expats, who make up two-thirds of the population, most of whom live on the biggest island, Grand Cayman. The islands are home to some of the world's rarest and most endangered wildlife. In contrast to the islands' laid back lifestyle, the Cayman Islands' status as a tax haven, with no mandatory income reporting, has made it home to around 600 banking institutions, with total assets of over 500 billion USD. While the Cayman Islands' inhabitants enjoy some of the highest standards of living in the world, around 90% of all food and consumer goods have to be imported, making the cost of living higher than in many America cities. However, its excellent infrastructure and economic stability have led to a low crime rate and great quality of life.
