Economy of the British Virgin Islands : ウィキペディア英語版 | Economy of the British Virgin Islands
The economy of the British Virgin Islands is one of the most prosperous in the Caribbean. Although tiny in absolute terms, because of the very small population of the British Virgin Islands, in 2010 the Territory had the 19th highest GDP per capita in the world according to the CIA World factbook.〔(CIA - The World Factbook - Virgin Islands )〕 In global terms the size of the Territory's GDP measured in terms of purchasing power is ranked as 215th out of a total of 229 countries.〔(CIA Factbook - GDP by country )〕 The economy of the Territory is based upon the "twin pillars" of financial services, which generates approximately 60% of government revenues, and tourism, which generates nearly all of the rest. Historically the British Virgin Islands has normally produced a Government budget surplus, but during the financial crisis of 2007–2008 the Territory began to run at a deficit, which continued after the global recession receded. In 2011 the Territory had its largest ever budget deficit, of US$29 million (approximately 2.6% of GDP).〔 By 2012 public debt had quadrupled from pre-crisis levels to approximately US$113 million (approximately 10.3% of GDP).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National debt grows by $73M over last decade; public sector too big – Financial Secretary )〕 Nearly 84% of that public debt was attributable to a new public hospital built in Road Town between 2003 and 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New hospital responsible for nearly 84% of national debt )〕 ''The Economist'' argues that deteriorating economic conditions in the British Virgin Islands are caused "not () sagging revenues but public-sector profligacy".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Treasure islands in trouble )〕 By 2014 public debt had been reduced to US$106 million and the annual deficit reduced to US$25 million (including budgeted capital expenditure).〔 ==Business environment== In 2015 British Virgin Islands has been assessed as the 34th in terms of global financial centres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Global Financial Centres Index )〕 This was the highest ranking of any offshore financial centre, and of any Latin American country. The Territory scored strongly in areas such as local taxation, rule of law, regulatory environment and quality of law for human resources. It scored less highly on infrastructure, access to capital and access to labour.
