One of the first industries people think about when
the Cayman Islands are mentioned are the broad range of financial
services. The financial industry is a main stay of the Cayman
economy.
The Cayman Islands make up the world’s fifth
largest financial centre. As of October 2002 there are approximately
5,945 registered companies in the financial industry in the Cayman Islands.
In 1997 the Cayman Island Stock Exchange (CSX)
was established, primarily to provide listing and exchange of
international mutual funds, equity and capital market interests.
