@Saint Kitts and Nevis
Introduction
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Background:
First settled by the British in 1623, the islands became an
associated state with full internal autonomy in 1967. The island of
Anguilla rebelled and was allowed to secede in 1971. Saint Kitts and
Nevis achieved independence in 1983. In 1998, a vote in Nevis on a
referendum to separate from Saint Kitts fell short of the two-thirds
majority needed. Nevis continues in its efforts to try and separate
from Saint Kitts.

Economy
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Economy - overview:
Sugar was the traditional mainstay of the Saint Kitts economy until
the 1970s. Following the 2005 harvest, the government closed the
sugar industry after decades of losses of 3-4% of GDP annually. To
compensate for employment losses, the government has embarked on a
program to diversify the agricultural sector and to stimulate other
sectors of the economy. Activities such as tourism, export-oriented
manufacturing, and offshore banking have assumed larger roles in the
economy and have contributed to the recent robust growth. Tourism
revenues are now the chief source of the islands' foreign exchange;
about 341,800 tourists visited Nevis in 2005. The current government
is constrained by a high debt burden, public debt reached 190% of
GDP by the end of 2005, largely attributable to public enterprise
losses.

@Saint Lucia
Introduction
Saint Lucia
Background:
The island, with its fine natural harbor at Castries, was contested
between England and France throughout the 17th and early 18th
centuries (changing possession 14 times); it was finally ceded to
the UK in 1814. Even after the abolition of slavery on its
plantations in 1834, Saint Lucia remained an agricultural island,
dedicated to producing tropical commodity crops. Self-government was
granted in 1967 and independence in 1979.

Economy
Saint Lucia
Economy - overview:
The island nation has been able to attract foreign business and
investment, especially in its offshore banking and tourism
industries, with a surge in foreign direct investment in 2006,
attributed to the construction of several tourism projects. Tourism
is the main source of foreign exchange, with almost 900,000 arrivals
in 2007. The manufacturing sector is the most diverse in the Eastern
Caribbean area, and the government is trying to revitalize the
banana industry. Saint Lucia is vulnerable to a variety of external
shocks including declines in European Union banana preferences,
volatile tourism receipts, natural disasters, and dependence on
foreign oil. High debt servicing obligations constrain the KING
administration's ability to respond to adverse external shocks.
Economic fundamentals remain solid, even though unemployment needs
to be reduced.
