Doing Business - Better in the Bahamas

Minister Maynard-Gibson addressed a "Special Programme for Intermediaries in Nassau" (SPIN) earlier this week. This first SPIN for the year 2005, targeting the private wealth management sector, was hosted by the Bahamas Financial Services Board (BFSB) in collaboration with the Association of International Banks & Trust Companies in the Bahamas (AIBT).

The Minister pointed out the value of the SPIN initiatives as a means of directly touching intermediaries and acknowledged their key role in attracting business to The Bahamas. "SPINs", she said, "also enable us to interact in this type of environment with experts who influence policy in international agencies and jurisdictions around the world."
