Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in the Cook Islands

The Cook Islands are a self-governing island nation in the South Pacific, in free association with New Zealand. They use the New Zealand dollar, and their economy is built on tourism, offshore financial services, fishing and pearls. The islands have also explored the potential of seabed minerals in their large ocean territory, under a dedicated regulatory framework.

The Cook Islands' Capital Markets

Rarotonga

Rarotonga is the main island, home to the capital, Avarua, the international airport, most hotels, banks and trust companies.

Aitutaki and the Outer Islands

Aitutaki's lagoon is one of the South Pacific's best-known tourist destinations, and the northern atolls support pearl farming and fishing.
