The economy of the British Virgin Islands is one of the most stable and prosperous economies in the Caribbean, based on a sophisticated, well-developed offshore financial center and a strong tourist industry. The economy is closely tied to the larger and more populous US Virgin Islands to the west. Livestock raising is the most important agricultural activity; poor soils limit the islands' ability to meet domestic food requirements. Because of traditional close links with the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands have used the dollar as their currency since 1959.
