Government Financial Management

Goals

The Cayman Islands Government has established seven broad outcome goals for the 2003 (Half) to 2004/5 period. These are as follows:

1. A strong economy that generates employment, income and a high standard of living.
2. A healthy and socially protected resident population.
3. A strong Caymanian community and culture.
4. Protect the environment for the use by both current and future generations.
5. A well educated and vocationally trained resident population.
6. A safe and secure country for residents and visitors.
7. Citizen participation in democratic government.

These goals are interrelated in that the achievement of one will influence the achievement of another. For example, high standards of educational achievement (goal five) will most likely have a positive impact on goal one (a strong economy).

The Government recognises that while it can play a major part in achieving these broad outcome goals, at the end of the day it does not totally control them. Events outside the Cayman Islands, and actions of individual citizens can also have a significant influence on whether the outcomes are achieved.

Nonetheless, the Government's policy actions will be focused on achieving these seven broad outcomes. The measures by which achievement of these broad outcome goals will be assessed and the guide for how they will be attained are provided in the Strategic Policy Statement.
