The Caribbean Rim Investment Initiative (CRII) promotes a creative and pragmatic co-operative approach between countries of Central America and the Caribbean, the OECD and other international organisations. Its objective is to enhance investment opportunities in the region. The Business Environment Reports produced under this Initiative provide a factual assessment of investment conditions existing in each CRII country. They offer a unique set of detailed information which should be of interest to all those concerned by the development of investment opportunities in the region. The reports are intended to be used by the countries involved as a roadmap for developing and implementing their agenda for investment policy reform, with the support of the CRII and the OECD. This volume contains the reports completed for Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica. Upcoming country reports will include Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Grenada, the Netherlands Antilles, Saint Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago.
