MARSHALL ISLANDS - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US assistance and lease payments for the use of Kwajalein Atoll as a US military base are the mainstay of this small island country. The Marshall Islands received roughly $1 billion in aid from the US during 1986-2001 under the original Compact of Free Association (Compact). In 2002 and 2003, the US and the Marshall Islands renegotiated the Compact's financial package for a 20-year period, from 2004 to 2024. Under the amended Compact, the Marshall Islands will receive roughly $1.5 billion in direct US assistance. Agricultural production, primarily subsistence, is concentrated on small farms; the most important commercial crops are coconuts and breadfruit. Industry is limited to handicrafts, tuna processing, and copra. Tourism holds some potential. The islands and atolls have few natural resources, and imports exceed exports. Under the amended Compact, the US is also funding, jointly with the Marshall Islands, a Trust Fund for the people of the Marshall Islands that will provide an income stream beyond 2024 when direct Compact aid is to end.

NOTES & COMMENTS

 

Final Opinion

 

We are reporting an offshore company which belongs to foreign shareholders. Although it is registered in The Marshall Islands, it uses such territory only as its legal and administrative address, but all its operations are carried out abroad. It is managed by a resident registration agent and it is unknown in the marketplace, so its commercial morality and general reputation cannot be assessed, although nothing detrimental is noted upon subject.
