The Netherlands Antilles consists of five islands in the
Caribbean. The Leeward Islands, Curacao and Bonaire are
approximately 30 km north of Venezuela. The Windward Islands of St.
Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba are about 160 km east of Puerto
Rico. Curacao is the main island in the Netherlands Antilles. The
total land area is 960 sq. km. The population of the Netherlands
Antilles is approximately 200,000, a large proportion of which
resides on the Island of Curacao.
The Netherlands Antilles, although autonomous, still forms part of
the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the legal system is based on
Dutch Civil Law, with English Common Law influence. The Netherlands
Antilles, which enjoys associate status of the European Union, is
regarded as one of the most stable democracies in the region and is
popular for the incorporation of the following Netherlands Antilles
companies: finance companies; mutual funds; ultimate holding and
finance companies of multi-national operating corporations;
shipping companies; trading companies; investment companies; Free
Zone companies; royalty holding companies; offshore banks;
insurance companies; foundations and limited partnerships.
Netherlands Antilles companies are known for being domiciled in a
modern and stable jurisdiction. Curacao is one of the most
developed islands in the region. The main sources of income are
derived from the oil refinery, the Free Zone and the financial
services industry, all on Curacao, as well as tourism in all five
islands. The official spoken language is Dutch. However, English
and Spanish are spoken widely. The currency is the Netherlands
Antilles Florin or Guilder. The US Dollar is in wide circulation
and has a fixed rate of exchange to the Netherlands Antilles Florin
of 0.56.
