Together with Aruba and Curaçao it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles. The name Bonaire is thought to have originally come from the Caquetio word 'Bonay'. The early Spanish and Dutch modified its spelling to Bojnaj and also Bonaire, which means "Good Air". Coat of Arms Bonaire's capital is Kralendijk. Original inhabitants Bonaire's earliest known inhabitants were the Caquetio Indians, a branch of the Arawak who came by canoe from Venezuela in about 1000 CE. Archeological remains of Caquetio culture have been found at certain sites northeast of Kralendijk and near Lac Bay. Caquetio rock paintings and Location of Bonaire (circled in Red) petroglyphs have been preserved in caves at Spelonk, Onima, Ceru Pungi, and Ceru Crita- Coordinates: 12°9′N 68°16′W Cabai.

Het door Ecorys opgestelde onderzoeksrapport is eveneens bijgevoegd, evenals het vorig jaar op verzoek van het ministerie van Economische Zaken, Landbouw en Innovatie door Ecorys opgestelde onderzoeksrapport naar marktomstandigheden op Caribisch Nederland.

Als onderdeel van het transitieproces dat dit mogelijk maakte is ook regelgeving op diverse terreinen aangepast. Zo betaalt men bijvoorbeeld tegenwoordig op de eilanden met de US Dollar (hierna USD) in plaats van met de Nederlands-Antilliaanse gulden én is er een nieuw fiscaal stelsel ingevoerd. In 2011 was de inflatie in Caribisch Nederland in vergelijking met voorgaande jaren relatief hoog.
