Maintaining Growth in International Services

Writing for European CEO, BFSB CEO & Executive Director Wendy C. Warren touts historic growth and increasing leadership in financial services, and firmly places The Bahamas amongst the world's premier international centres.

She says the activities of the jurisdiction’s banks and trust companies encompass the entire range of banking services, and that during the past 15 years there has been "intense and continuous development in investment management and administration, trust and advisory services and asset administration."

Human capital is described as being at the heart of developments within the sector, with predictable continuity of service as industry practitioners are committed to the local community more so than in locations largely dependent upon imported skills. BFSB recently issued a call for nominations for its 2004 Financial Services Industry Excellence Awards – a programme profiling industry practitioners.
