I remember hearing this story again and again in Cayman – that historically, most of the men went to sea and the women looked after everything at home. Even today, Cayman has a female Governor, Premier and Minister of Finance, and Chief Justice. No wonder Cayman is the best run country in the Caribbean! � (I mean, there’s a lot to unpack here but, another time!) Not that Cayman doesn’t have its challenges, but on a regional scale (and I dare say even internationally) it is rare to find such a small, highly open economy, with such low debt, high living standard, and thriving private sector based on an ease of doing business and a secure environment. And apart from the historically outsized role that women have played in Cayman’s success, so has its acute openness.
