While Liechtenstein is one of the smallest countries in Europe, landlocked between Austria and Switzerland, it is also one of the richest countries in the world on the basis of per-capita GDP. Liechtenstein is closely linked with Switzerland and uses the Swiss Franc as its official currency. There is also a customs union between Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and for Value Added Tax (VAT) purposes Liechtenstein is part of the Swiss VAT system. Liechtenstein is a member of the European Economic Area but not the European Union. This unique position gives this small country numerous advantages, including full access of its banking and insurance industry to the EU market.

Liechtenstein has one of the world's most sophisticated banking, financial services and fiduciary industry, which also represents the major part of its economy. Liechtenstein welcomes quality business from clients all over the world and maintains strictest due diligence requirements in order to protect its reputation. Recent legislation has been introduced to further reinforce Liechtenstein's position as one of the world's top-tier financial services jurisdictions. All financial and fiduciary services providers are strictly regulated and supervised.
