General Overview: One of the smallest independent countries
in the western hemisphere, Grenada was seized by a Marxist military
council on 19 October 1983. Six days later the island was invaded
by US forces and those of six other Caribbean nations, which
quickly captured the ringleaders and their hundreds of Cuban
advisers. Free elections were reinstituted the following year.
Economic
Overview: Grenada relies on tourism as its main source of foreign
exchange, especially since the construction of an international
airport in 1985. Strong performances in construction and manufacturing,
together with the development of an offshore financial industry,
have also contributed to growth in national output.
