Curaçao is a small island country in the southern Caribbean Sea, north of Venezuela, with the island of Aruba to the west, and tiny Bonaire to the east. Curaçao has done well to develop an economy that draws its capital from investments and combines it with local resources, as well as additional activities that have successfully made this a relatively developed and quality market for the region. The islands main sectors are the oil refinery industry (Venezuelan rigs, tourism, financial services for international companies, and both local and international trade). Thanks to this advanced market, the country is ranked relatively high in terms of production and GDP per capita. In order to diversify their economy, and attract foreign investors, the Curaçao government instates an “open arms” policy for international businesses and entrepreneurs – a fact that makes the incorporation process extremely easy and appealing.
