Grenada is an island country in the Caribbean. The tropical climate and beautiful landscapes provide the attention of tourists almost all year round. However, tourism is not the only source of external financial inflows. The local government established a comfortable banking environment for offshore business in 1996. They created an investment program, which was improved and relaunched in 2013, to show that they are interested in foreign investors.
