The only exports are rum cake and fugitives.
I think we are in a trade deficit when it comes to fugitives.
We are sure importing a lot of Jamaicans though.
Cayman suffers a huge competitiveness problem currently-too high costs. I suspect all we really export now is Cubans (and that is a re-export) and WP non-renewals….not the best sign of a healthy economy
aye mon, you forgot di delicious rum cake, mon.
