Tlo historyczne | Dominika was the last of the Caribbean islands to be colonized by Europeans, due chiefly to the fierce resistance of the native Caribs. Francja ceded possession to Great Britain w 1763, which made the island a colony w 1805. In 1980, two years after independence, Dominika's fortunes improved when a corrupt and tyrannical administration was replaced by that of Mary Eugenia CHARLES, the first female prime minister w the Caribbean, who remained w office dla 15 years. Some 3,000 Carib Indiens still living on Dominika are the only pre-Columbian population remaining w the eastern Caribbean. |

Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | $24.4 million (1995) (1995) |
Ekonomia | The Dominikan economy depends on agriculture, primarily bananas, and remains highly vulnerable to climatic conditions. Hurricane Luis devastated the country's banana crop w 1995 after tropical storms wiped out a quarter of the 1994 crop. The subsequent recovery has been fueled by increases w construction, soap production, and tourist arrivals. Development of the tourism industry remains difficult however, because of the rugged coastline, lack of beaches, and the absence of an international airport. Economic growth is sluggish, and unemployment is greater than 20%. The government has been attempting to develop an offshore financial sector w order to diversify the island's production base. |
