Montserrat

Economy Overview
The island is still recovering from the volcanic explosion of January 1997 which destroyed much of the island's productive capacity. Previously, Montserrat had a diverse economy. The agricultural sector was concentrated in vegetables, cotton and livestock. The industrial sector, which employed one-third of the workforce and earned the bulk of Montserrat's export income, was concentrated in food processing and the assembly of electronic components. In the service sector, data processing and financial services were two important growth areas. For the time being the economic priorities for the island are reconstruction and improvement of the basic living conditions for the remaining islanders. Foreign aid has been essential to this process.
Government
Under the 1960 constitution, the Governor, who is appointed by the British monarch, is responsible for defence, external affairs and internal security. The Governor is President of the 7-member Executive Council. The 11-member Legislative Council is elected by popular vote to serve a five-year term.
