The Bahamas: A Global Leader in Financial & Trust
Services, and Digital Assets
On July 10th, 1973, The Bahamas achieved a historic milestone by
transitioning from a 300-year-long colony to an Independent Nation.
As the country commemorates its 50th anniversary of independence,
this Roundtable conversation starts with an examination of the
factors that have elevated it to the forefront as an international
financial center.
"Already back in 1936, The Bahamas was at the forefront of
private wealth management, although we didn't use that exact
term," says Christina R. Rolle, Executive Director of the
Securities Commission of The Bahamas.
Today, The Bahamas has become one of the most established trust
jurisdictions from a legislative and depth of bench of trust
professionals worldwide. Its revamped Digital Assets and Registered
Exchanges (DARE) Act is now also repositioning The Bahamas at the
forefront of global digital asset regulation.
