Investing in Grenada is very easy. There are no restrictions for investment in property or businesses for locals or foreigners. Grenada is one of the most politically stable countries in the region. It is a democratic state with a Westminster-style Parliamentary form of government and constitutionally held elections every five years. It has a governor general (representing Queen Elizabeth II, Head of State), a prime minister and a cabinet (executive branch), and a bicameral Parliament with an elected House of Representatives and an appointed Senate (legislative branch).
The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. Jurisprudence is based on English common law. The Privy Council of the United Kingdom serves as the highest appellate court.
Grenada has one of the most pristine physical environments in the Caribbean and offers residents, investors, tourists, migrant workers and overseas students a high quality of life, low crime, and a relatively unspoiled natural environment. The country is classified as an upper middle-income country by the World Bank.
The physical beauty and tropical climate of the country are complemented by its rich history, and vibrant living cultural heritage. The Island’s easy rhythms and friendly openness of its residents evoke an atmosphere that has long since vanished elsewhere. Residents are famous for their friendly and hospitable nature.
The country counts 110,000 inhabitants and the island of Grenada is 21 miles long by 12 miles wide making the total area 133 square miles.
