    New business activities for St. Eustatius Creating income by producing instead of importing Report August 9 2007 Fabian van de Raadt University of Twente August 2007 Departure: May 07 2006 Return: July 07 2006 Address abroad: L.E. Saddlerweg z/n Oranjestad St. Eustatius Netherlands Antilles Principal: Mr. Koos Sneek, Executive Director St. Eustatius Business Association (STEBA) Oranjestad, St. Eustatius Graduation committee: Chairman: Dr. Ir. S.J. de Boer Member: Prof. Dr. P.B. Boorsma Management Summary Introduction St. Eustatius belongs to the Netherlands Antilles under the current agreement. Expectedly December 15th 20081 The Netherlands Antilles will end; St. Eustatius will get the status of a special municipality of the Netherlands. The population as of January 1st 2005 includes 2584 inhabitants2. On this moment, the high degree of imported products and services results in a negative trade balance. This is an unwanted situation for the developing island. The main problem is therefore formulated as follows: What new business activities are promising for St. Eustatius and how can these be developed? Framework The first chapter includes an introduction of the island and the main problem. Chapter 2 provides a framework to understand the followed steps. After the current situation is analyzed in chapter 3, the report consists of two parallel parts: chapter 4, which provides criteria for the alternatives, and chapter 5 and 6, which results in alternatives for new businesses. An important technique for analyzing data is the use of interviews. This technique is chosen because of the small size of the island and therefore limited data availability. An improvement in the trade balance can be achieved by two main economic possibilities: increasing export and import substitution, on which this research is concentrated.

  • Budget Address 2005: Anguilla Incorporated (Inc)
    BUDGET ADDRESS 2005 “ANGUILLA INCORPORATED (INC), OPEN FOR BUSINESS” PART I 1.INTRODUCTION Mr Speaker, through God’s blessings and divine providence we have been able to make it through another year so that I once again come before you and other members of this Honourable House to present the Government’s fiscal plan for the fiscal year January to December 2005. A hearty welcome, to all of you who have taken the time to attend the presentation of the 2005 Budget. A hearty welcome also to those of you listening via radio, recognizing that with the use of the Internet by Radio Anguilla, this address is accessible live to the Anguillian diaspora, that is, the Anguillian community living overseas: in other Caribbean islands; Slough, England; Toronto, Canada; New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami as well as other parts of the world. Welcome also to those of you viewing the proceedings on television. Mr Speaker, in keeping with the approach, which I have adopted during the “ten years” in which I have served as Minister of Finance and Economic Development, I propose to organize this year’s presentation around a central theme. My choice for the 2005 Budget Address is “ANGUILLA INCORPORATED (INC), OPEN FOR BUSINESS”. A bold statement Mr Speaker, but one that I intend to substantiate to the fullest. Mr Speaker, what do I mean when I say “ANGUILLA INC, OPEN FOR BUSINESS”? Mr Speaker, this theme is not simply relating to business or finance but speaks to an approach, which says that attaining particular economic and revenue growth rates is not the end in and of itself but rather a means to an end, which is the “total sustainable human development of all Anguillians”.

  • The Influence of a Country's Global Market Position on the Tourism Industry Macroeconomic Indicators
    Ìåõàí³çì ðåãóëþâàííÿ åêîíîì³êè 1 УДК 338.486 JEL Classification: L83 THE INFLUENCE OF A COUNTRY'S GLOBAL MARKET POSITION ON THE TOURISM INDUSTRY MACROECONOMIC INDICATORS V. Yermachenko The article provides the analysis of the countries' tourism development indicators in correspondence with the position of a national economy in the global market. The issues of international tourism impact on a national economy have been studied, in both the methodological aspects and practical implementation, the main challenges of the branch functioning today have been pointed out. The research goal is to find the most relevant methods and approaches to the descriptive analysis of macroeconomic data, concerning the scale of a national economy and the stra- tegic position of the tourism industry in a state. The object of the research is the operation of national economies in the global tourism market, the subject is the elaboration of estimation techniques of a national tourism market structure with the countries having operative programmes of the branch development taken as an example. The scientific novelty consists in the elaboration of the methodical approach to cluster formation preceding the use of econometric models. The main research method is grouping on the basis of a cluster approach. It has been proved that the common cluster analysis with econometric models is not often relevant to the specific purpose, so step-by-step estimation of the indicators chosen has been suggested considering every peculiarity of a national foreign trade policy. Preliminary grouping of the countries by the criteria of economic stability has been performed. Further investigations in this field will be conducted via analysis of the dominant strategies in tourism development programmes according to the current position of a country in the pre-defined group and singling out the main trends peculiar to the majority of the projects.
