Anguilla (ISO-Code: AI) is a British Overseas Territory located in the eastern Caribbean, north of Saint Martin. Politically, the island is part of the United Kingdom and has local self-government under British sovereignty. The climate is tropical-maritime, characterized by consistently high temperatures, high humidity, and a rainy season from June to November. Economically, Anguilla relies on tourism, financial services, and fishing, with services accounting for the majority of value creation. Foreign trade focuses on imports of food, fuels, consumer, and investment goods, while exports play a minor role. The island has a limited transit function in the Caribbean, mainly for smaller sea and air freight movements. The national currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD), which facilitates economic exchange within the region. Ports such as Blowing Point and Road Bay serve as central hubs for goods and enhance logistical connectivity. Infrastructure and transport routes are gradually being modernized to strengthen supply security and economic competitiveness. Anguilla's location and political stability make the island an attractive destination for tourism and trade in the Caribbean.
