Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team of experts conducted the Mission virtually, carrying out research online, as well as undertaking interviews with a wide range of stakeholders using digital meeting platforms. • Parliamentary elections are regulated primarily by the Constitution (2009) and the Elections Act (2021 Revision). The Constitution was amended in November 2019, but no changes relevant to elections were made. The Elections Act was revised in January 2021, but several significant changes proposed in 2017 failed to be adopted. The Elections Act was amended the day ahead of Election Day because the originally-prescribed process for counting mobile votes would have compromised voters’ secrecy of choice. • The Elections Office has been praised by electoral stakeholders for the manner in which the election was administered.

CREATING CAYMAN AS AN OFFSHORE FINANCIAL CENTER: Structure & Strategy since 1960 Tony Freyer* & Andrew P. Morriss** ABSTRACT The Cayman Islands are one of the world's leading offshore financial centers (OFCs). Their development from almost a barter economy in 1960 to a leading OFC for the location of hedge funds, captive insurance companies, yacht registrations, special purpose vehicles, and international banking today was the result of a collaborative policy-making process that involved local leaders, expatriate professionals, and British officials. Over several decades, Cayman created a political system that enabled it to successfully compete in world financial markets for transactions, participate in major international efforts to control financial crimes, and avoid the political, economic, racial, and social problems that plague many of its Caribbean neighbors.
