Exclusive Feature
|
Barbados
This feature focuses on the Caribbean island of
Barbados. More famous for its beaches and as a
destination for millions of tourists than as a
location for offshore business, Barbados has nonetheless
developed a well regulated financial services
industry offering a surprisingly wide array of
offshore products from banking to trusts to insurance.
Whilst the island is not quite on a par with the
higher profile offshore centres in the region,
such as Bermuda or the Cayman Islands, for the
investor, Barbados offers economic and political
stability along with a number of tax and investment
incentives, and close economic ties with the United
States.
