Falkland Islands Development Corporation

Last updated

The Falkland Islands Development Corporation (FIDC) is a now defunct quasi-autonomous, government-established, largely self-funding body that was responsible for encouraging the economic development of the Falkland Islands. It was set up in 1984 and was mainly funded from its own reserves and income streams. Initiatives it has fostered include air transport, connection to the global containerised shipping network, supporting agricultural diversification, establishing a meat export industry and promoting tourism. It also offers advice, loans and grants to further local business development. [1]
