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.
Government
Anguilla is a separate dependency under the British government, and the 1982 constitution provided that executive power should be in the hands of the Governor, who is appointed by the British Monarch. The Executive Council, led by the Chief Minister, advises the Governor. The legislature comprises the House of Assembly, seven members of which are elected by universal adult suffrage for five-year terms, two are ex officio, and two appointed by the Governor.
