The total value of goods imported into the Cayman Islands in the first three months of 2014 grew by 5.0 percent to $203.0 million compared to $193.4 million recorded for the same period in 2013. This is also the highest first quarter imports since 2008.

⫿Overall, the increase in the total value of imports was mainly due to the growth in non-petroleum products,??? noted the Minister for Finance and Economic Development, Hon.

This is an indication of growing investment in the country’s physical capital,??? he further said.
