The U.S. State Department labels Anguilla as a monitored jurisdiction. There are few offenses committed on the island by the local populace that generate substantial profits from crime. Domestic money laundering offenses generally involve fraud, public corruption and theft. The economy depends heavily on luxury tourism, offshore banking, lobster fishing, and remittances from emigrants. Increased activity in the tourism industry has spurred the growth of the construction sector. The financial sector is small in comparison to other jurisdictions in the Caribbean, but the ability to register companies online and the use of bearer shares make Anguilla vulnerable to money laundering. The biggest perceived threat of money laundering in the coming years will continue to come from abuses of the offshore industry in relation to mutual funds, trusts, and international business companies. Anguilla has seven licensed domestic and offshore banks, two money services businesses, and over 275 captive insurance companies.
