About The Netherlands Antilles
Background: Since 1954 the Netherlands Antilles has been an autonomous part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands with its own democratically elected parliament. A governor, appointed by the Queen, represents the Crown. The Netherlands Antilles has two levels of government: a central (federal) and an island or territorial level.
Location: The Netherlands Antilles is a group of 5 islands in the Caribbean Sea, consisting of the Leeward Islands: Curaçao and Bonaire, near the coast of Venezuela; and the Windward Islands; St. Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba, about 100 miles east of Puerto Rico.
Economy - overview: The main sources of income are from the oil refinery, transshipment, tourism, ship repair, international trade and distribution, and financial on- and offshore activities. Due to the high service standards as well of special tax regulations, quite a large number of investment, holding, finance, royalty, real estate and shipping companies, and branches of reputable international banks and accounting firms have been established in the Netherlands Antilles.
