Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory in the Eastern Caribbean whose economy and population were severely impacted by volcanic eruptions beginning in 1995, significantly reducing its trade and economic activity. The island is almost entirely import-dependent, sourcing food, construction materials, and consumer goods primarily from the United States, United Kingdom, and neighboring Caribbean islands. Export activity is negligible, with the economy supported largely by UK aid and remittances.
