The Cayman Islands’ economy grew by 1.2 percent in the first six months of the 2012 as compared to the 1.3 percent recorded a year earlier.

The increase in GDP primarily reflected the positive, yet small, contributions of construction, transport, storage and communication, hotels & restaurants and bars, and manufacturing that were partly offset by negative contribution of the utility sector.

The Honourable Premier and Minister for Finance, Mr McKeeva Bush stated, ⫿The economy continued to post moderate growth amidst lacklustre demand for financial services and the government’s commitment to responsible fiscal governance. Although, these are challenging times, the 2012/2013 Budget is focused on supporting wide-ranging stimulus measures to give all businesses the best chance of succeeding.?? Subscribe
