Role of the Anti-corruption Commission

Cayman’s economic outlook in 2012
A United Nations report released this week paints a daunting picture for the world economy in 2012. The “World Economic Situation and Prospects 2012” produced by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, notes that “countries throughout the world will experience an economic slowdown this year as the sovereign debt crisis in Europe continues to unfold.” The report points to the European sovereign debt crisis that erupted in Greece last May as a major shock to the global economy, whose multiple neg
The danger of a single story
Late last year, a plane carrying a Mexican and Colombian crashed into the bushes in Cayman Brac. It was reported that the perished on their ill-fated trip. Being of nationalities that the world associates with illegal drug trafficking, it was only natural for people to speculate and for our media to report that the UK’s Air Accident Investigation Branch came to collect samples of the contraband that the two were supposedly transporting.
Christmas and statistics
As we think of the Christmas holiday and the fact that baby Jesus was born in a manger, we should remember the dynamics that had caused this to happen. Jesus was born to two parents who did not have the means to afford luxurious lodgings for that very important moment of their lives. At the time, the demand for such facilities was high as many families had to travel to the local political capital city in order to participate in a census, ordered by Cyrenius the governor of Syria, which was meant to enable t

Now comes the hard part, Editorial, Issue 2213, Friday, 29-Sunday, 1 May 2011
With an expected initial injection of $326 million between 2011 and 2020, Cayman Enterprise City or the special economic zone, could prove to be a game changer for the Cayman Islands.
A glimmer of hope?
Latest figures reported by the Department of Tourism show a very encouraging upward trend in visitor arrivals to the Cayman Islands, with a 10 percent increase in air arrivals and some 12 per cent increase in cruise arrivals at the end of February, over the corresponding period for 2010. The data also shows increases in visitor numbers from North America and Europe.
Return of the first capital city
Numbers do not lie and population growth figures projected by statisticians 20 years ago suggested that the population of the Cayman Islands would have doubled by 2015. Now, five years earlier than the projected date, the current population of 54,878, as revealed in the preliminary report of the 2010 Census, has clearly doubled over the 1989 figure of 25,355.
