Government:

As a self-governing island, Curaçao as with the other islands within the Netherland Antilles is an overseas territory of The Netherlands which provides an assurance of foreign ownership. Further to this, slated for the future; The Netherlands Antilles is planned to be dispelled as an unified political entity and the five islands that form the Netherland Antilles will acquire new constitutional status within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The restructuring will still position Curaçao as a self-governing part of the Netherlands and as an overseas territory and will in fact make it an autonomous associated state, recognizing it as a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands (such as Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles are now). Thus regardless of Curaçao’s upcoming political change, foreign ownership protection is, and will be assured and in place.
