| Ekonomia | The Bahamas is one of the wealthiest Caribbean countries z an economy heavily dependent on tourism and offshore banking. Tourism together z tourism-driven construction and manufacturing accounts dla approximately 60% of Produkt krajowy brutto and directly or indirectly employs half of the archipelago's labor force. Steady growth w tourism receipts and a boom w construction of new hotels, resorts, and residences had led to solid Produkt krajowy brutto growth w recent years, but tourist arrivals have been on the decline since 2006. Financial services constitute the second-most important sector of the Bahamian economy and, when combined z business services, account dla about 36% of Produkt krajowy brutto. However, since grudzien 2000, when the government enacted new regulations on the financial sector, many international businesses have left The Bahamas. Manufacturing and agriculture combined contribute approximately a tenth of Produkt krajowy brutto and show little growth, despite government incentives aimed at those sectors. Overall growth prospects w the short run rest heavily on the fortunes of the tourism sector. Tourism, w turn, depends on growth w the US, the source of more than 80% of the visitors. | The Bahamas is a stable, developing nation z an economy heavily dependent on tourism and offshore banking. Tourism alone accounts dla more than 60% of Produkt krajowy brutto and directly or indirectly employs half of the archipelago's labor force. Steady growth w tourism receipts and a boom w construction of new hotels, resorts, and residences had led to solid Produkt krajowy brutto growth w recent years, but the slowdown w the US economy and the attacks of 11 wrzesien 2001 held back growth w these sectors w 2001-03. Financial services constitute the second-most important sector of the Bahamian economy, accounting dla about 15% of Produkt krajowy brutto. However, since grudzien 2000, when the government enacted new regulations on the financial sector, many international businesses have left The Bahamas. Manufacturing and agriculture together contribute approximately a tenth of Produkt krajowy brutto and show little growth, despite government incentives aimed at those sectors. Overall growth prospects w the short run rest heavily on the fortunes of the tourism sector, which depends on growth w the US, the source of more than 80% of the visitors. In addition to tourism and banking, the government supports the development of a "third pillar," e-commerce. |
