An investor perception survey conducted as part of the CRII diagnostic study has indicated that investors perceive Curaçao as being basically open to foreign investment

	They seem comfortable with both the political situation and the exchange rate regime guaranteeing convertibility of the US Dollar-pegged Antillean guilder against international currencies,
	They thought the quality of infrastructure was quite good,
	They were also impressed by the high literacy rate (over 90%)
	They were less impressed by the relatively high wages, an automatic consequence of the high standard of living and the small scale of the economy. These factors require high value creation activities and a focus on serving international markets.
