MINISTER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Roderick Middelhof
Welcome to the official website of the Ministry of Economic Development It is an honor to welcome you to this digital gateway, where policy meets purpose. Our mission is clear: to shape a more resilient, inclusive, and future-ready economy for Curaçao. Guided by the 2025-2029 Governance Program, we are actively working to reduce our economic vulnerability by diversifying beyond tourism and investing in new sectors like sustainable energy, technology, agriculture, and the creative industries. We are reforming how business is done by reducing red tape and modernizing public services to make Curaçao a competitive and reliable destination for local and international investment. At the same time, we are strengthening our role as a logistics and maritime hub, and developing export strategies that support long-term economic growth and job creation. This website serves as a resource for our partners, investors, and citizens alike. I invite you to follow our progress, contribute your ideas, and work with us as we build a stronger Curaçao together.
Sincerely,
R. Middelhof
