In 1959, the islands became a territory within the Federation of the West Indies. When the Federation dissolved in 1962, the Cayman Islands chose to remain a British dependency. The Cayman Islands are an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. They are divided into six districts, with Georgetown as the capital. The official language of the Cayman Islands is English. The currency in the Cayman Islands is the Cayman Islands dollar (KYD). With no direct taxation, the islands are a thriving offshore financial centre. More than 99,000 active companies were registered in the Cayman Islands as of 2016, including almost 300 banks, 750 insurers, and 10,500 mutual funds. A stock exchange was opened in 1997. The tourism and financial services industries create a significant majority of gross domestic product (GDP). The tourism industry is aimed at the luxury market and caters mainly to visitors from North America. The Caymanians enjoy one of the highest outputs per capita and one of the highest standards of living in the world.

This work is made available online in accordance with the publisher’s policies. This is the author created, accepted version manuscript following peer review and may differ slightly from the final published version. Citation for Taylor, I. C. (2019). France à fric: the CFA Zone in Africa and published version neocolonialism. Third World Quarterly, Latest Articles. Link to published https://doi.org/10.1080/01436597.2019.1585183 version Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ FRANCE À FRIC: THE CFA ZONE IN AFRICA AND NEOCOLONIALISM Over fifty years after 1960’s “Year of Africa,” most of Francophone Africa continues to be embedded in a set of associations that fit very well with Kwame Nkrumah’s description of neocolonialism, where postcolonial states are de jure independent but in reality constrained through their economic systems so that policy is directed from outside. This article scrutinizes the functioning of the CFA, considering the role the currency has in persistent underdevelopment in most of Francophone Africa. In doing so, the article identifies the CFA as the most blatant example of functioning neocolonialism in Africa today and a critical device that promotes dependency in large parts of the continent. Mainstream analyses of the technical aspects of the CFA have generally focused on the exchange rate and other related matters. However, while important, the real importance of the CFA franc should not be seen as purely economic, but also political.

  • Salada Foods Jamaica Ltd
    Salada Foods Jamaica Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements 30 September 2002 1 Company Identification and Principal Activity The company, which is incorporated in Jamaica, is the sole manufacturer of instant coffee in Jamaica. Sales of instant coffee and roasted and ground beans represent approximately 80% of the company's and the group's turnover. All amounts are stated in Jamaican dollars. 2 Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and comply with Jamaican Accounting Standards, and have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets. (b) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Jamaican generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c) Basis of consolidation The group's financial statements present the results of operations and financial position of the company and two of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Coffee Company of Jamaica Limited and Shirriff's (Jamaica) Limited. The excess of the cost of shares in the subsidiaries over the book value of the net assets acquired has been charged against shareholders' interests. (d) Investment in subsidiaries Investments by the holding company in subsidiaries are stated at cost. (e) Financial instruments Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include receivables, group balances, payables and short and long-term loans.

  • 3 History of Dollarization in Liberia23 1. Dollarization Can
    3 History of Dollarization in Liberia23 1. Dollarization can be caused by a number of factors, including: (i) political instability and conflict; (ii) economic and financial instability; (iii) institutional arrangements, e.g. by according legal tender status to the foreign currency; and (iv) large donor flows. 2. The use of a foreign currency in an economy can lead to different types of dollarization. Bogetić (2000) defines full or official dollarization as a complete monetary union with a foreign country from which a country imports currency, making the foreign currency full legal tender and reducing its own currency, if any, to a subsidiary role. According to Baliño, Bennett, and Borensztein (1999), partial or unofficial dollarization occurs when residents hold a large share of their financial wealth in assets denominated in a foreign currency, even though that currency lacks the legal tender privileges of the domestic currency. Three types of dollarization are commonly identified: (i) financial dollarization: the substitution of local currency assets or liabilities for foreign currency assets or liabilities; (ii) transactions dollarization: the use of foreign currency for transactions; and (iii) real dollarization: the use of foreign currency for denominating prices and wages. All of these are present in Liberia, which is officially a dual currency regime with the Liberian dollar and U.S. dollar both being legal tender.4 While either currency can be used for any transaction, most economic activity takes place in U.S. dollars, including the payment of taxes and government expenditures. Currencies issued by other countries circulate freely in Liberia and bank accounts with Liberian banks can be maintained in them, but they are not legal tender.5 3.
