Restoring the economy
Our Gulf Coast economic recovery efforts have focused on paying all legitimate claims and supporting two of the region’s most vital industries – tourism and seafood
Like the rest of the US, the Gulf Coast has experienced slow economic growth over the past decade. The Deepwater Horizon accident in 2010 came amidst this economic strain, to a region that had already been impacted by recent recessions and the costs of rebuilding after multiple hurricanes. In 2012, the Gulf Coast region experienced another hurricane as portions of Louisiana and Mississippi were impacted by Hurricane Isaac.
We are supporting the economy recovery of the region through a variety of programmes.
