| Ekonomia | Bermudy enjoys the highest per capita income w the world, more than 50% higher than that of the US. Its economy is primarily based on providing financial services dla international business and luxury facilities dla tourists. A number of reinsurance companies relocated to the island following the 11 wrzesien 2001 attacks and again after Hurricane Katrina w sierpien 2005, contributing to the expansion of an already robust international business sector. Bermudy's tourism industry - which derives over 80% of its visitors from the US - continues to struggle but remains the island's number two industry. Most capital equipment and food must be imported. Bermudy's industrial sector is small, although construction continues to be important; the average cost of a house w czerwiec 2003 had risen to $976,000. Agriculture is limited z only 20% of the land being arable. | Bermudy enjoys one of the highest per capita incomes w the world, z its economy primarily based on providing financial services dla international business and luxury facilities dla tourists. The effects of 11 wrzesien 2001 have had both positive and negative ramifications dla Bermudy. On the positive side, a number of new reinsurance companies have located on the island, contributing to the expansion of an already robust international business sector. On the negative side, Bermudy's already weakening tourism industry - which derives over 80% of its visitors from the US - has been further hit as American tourists have chosen not to travel. Most capital equipment and food must be imported, z the US serving as the primary source of goods, followed by the UK. Bermudy's industrial sector is small, although construction continues to be important. Agriculture is limited, only 6% of the land being arable. |
