:: DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

International Financial Services has become such a buzzword over the last few years and jurisdictions offering various types of services seem to be popping up in every corner of the world. People nowadays have endless choices, but do we really and what exactly is one looking for in an International Financial Centre?

St. Kitts, one of the more recent international financial centres to emerge in the world, can offer every investor what he or she is looking for.This small tropical island in the heart of the Caribbean is the home of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and the Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange, which are two important pillars of the Regional Financial Sector.


Our range of enabling legislation and competent service providers can facilitate any investment need in the market. Persons wishing to form legal entities for investment, tax planning or estate planning may easily do so here, and those wishing to apply for licenses to become service providers may be walked through the process by the staff of the Marketing and Development Department.

St. Kitts has more than 50 Attorneys at Law practising here which is more than one lawyer per thousand persons. Therefore legal services that are always required in an investment environment are in no short supply. There are also a host of qualified accountants practising in St. Kitts, which is another necessity in this industry.

In addition, being a relatively new international financial centre, we have had the benefit of working through and observing the international initiatives against money laundering and terrorism. We also have the flexibility to respond to market needs and demands to ensure that we are in a position to accommodate our customers' requirements.

Please take your time to peruse our website and feel free to e-mail any enquiries or comments to my attention at directormd@caribsurf.com . Thank you for your interest in our jurisdiction. We look forward to working with you.
