Cayman Islands is situated in Caribbean Sea, 480 miles southwest of Miami, USA. The three islands are spread over 101 square miles, have a population of 65,000 and gross domestic product (GDP) of $5.5 billion, slightly more than that of the Union Territory of Puducherry.
Still, it was the third-largest contributor of equity foreign direct investment (FDI) in India in the first six months of FY21 ($2 billion). Only Singapore ($8.3 billion) and the US ($7.13 billion) were ahead. The tiny British Overseas Territory even bettered Mauritius, traditionally the biggest source of FDI into India.
