The Cook Islands economic progress is hindered by isolation, high transportation costs and emigration of the population to New Zealand. The country is highly dependent on aid programs from New Zealand. Tourism is by far the main foreign exchange earner. Offshore banking is also prevalent however pressure from Australia and New Zealand to tighten regulation to prevent money laundering is expected to shrink the industry. One third of the population are employed in agriculture; other industries include fisheries and cottage industries.
