Since most goods must be imported, it has
become necessary to expand Aruba's export market in order to maintain a
proper balance of trade.
The liberal economic policies of the
Aruban Government are aimed at accomplishing such, by actively
stimulating the establishment of “export-oriented” or “import-replacement”
companies in Aruba. Examples are companies in the area of international
telecommunications, international financial services, international
trade, free trade zone activities/services and small scale high tech
operations in agriculture, husbandry and fisheries.
Extensive information on foreign trade in
Aruba, manufacturing, the transshipment of foreign goods, preferential
trade agreements of which Aruba is a beneficiary country, and foreign
investor information is provided by the Department of Economic
Affairs, website www.arubaeconomicaffairs.com
