Confidential,
private banking was one of the key offshore
products from the beginning, and such major
banking centres as the Cayman Islands, Switzerland,
Hong Kong and the Bahamas warehouse staggering
quantities of money for individuals and organisations
who prefer to keep it out of the immediate oversight
of their home governments. Very importantly,
of course, money held offshore cannot readily
be taxed by rapacious high-tax economies.
There
is great variety among the main offshore banking
jurisdictions, both in regulatory terms and
in respect of the services offered. The aim
of this report is to analyse the situation on
the ground in each of the main offshore banking
centres, including their reponses to the EU's
Savings Tax Directive and the attacks of the
'multilaterals' during the early years of the
new millennium.
