Introduction | Information COOK ISLANDS The Cook Islands are a net of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean, West of Tahiti and South of Hawaii. The Islands became fully self-governing in 1965 under the Cook Islands Constitution Act of 1964, but retain close relationship with New Zealand, which has responsibility for Cook Islands external affairs and defence. Second to tourism the offshore sector began in 1981 and is rapidly growing. The Government supports the continuing growth of the Cook Islands as a leading offshore financial centre. Cook Islands have been praised by the FATF for its measures in the enactment of the Money Laundering Prevention Act. Cook Islands are a well established jurisdiction with good communication systems and no exchange controls.
