Description
The International Financial Centres' Yearbook - IFC Yearbook - is a comprehensive guide to international financial centres (IFCs) specialising in the diverse area of 'offshore' finance. This essential reference book and point of contact for the 'offshore' practitioner features 'at-a-glance' guides to over 35 international finance centres across the globe providing vital information for the practitioner wishing to 'move a client offshore'. Information provided for each guide includes general information such as the centre's expertise, tax and duty percentages, trust regulations, company incorporation details such as fees and timescale, director requirements, and mobility provisions.

There are also more in-depth guides to those centres with a bit more to say including : Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Bahrain, Barbados, Belize, British Virgin Islands, Brunei Darussalam, Cayman Islands, Dubai, Liechtenstein, Madeira, Nevis, and the new Islamic finance centre of Qatar. Contributed by the Co-publishers to the book, these in-depth guides specifically deal with ways in which those centres are adapting to changes within the industry and remaining competitive in a most challenging environment. Recent legislation, initiatives and developments are concentrated on, providing the most up-to-date information about each centres movements. Leading industry figures provide comment and discussion on current issues affecting the IFCs in the introduction to the book.

In addition to the quality editorial the IFC Yearbook doubles as a comprehensive source of contacts to the financial and legal services and regulatory arms of the industry on a global scale - a directory of over 1000 contacts from IFC services and the official bodies of the centres is included at the back of the book.
