Why Gibraltar?

As a stable and well governed British Overseas Territory, Gibraltar has its own Parliament, its own legal and its own tax system. It enjoys an effective regulatory environment which is in alignment with that of the UK.

Gibraltar has a robust and diversified economy. The principal sectors of the Gibraltar economy are financial services, on-line gaming, port services and tourism.

Gibraltar operates the third largest ship bunkering port in Europe, has a state-of-the-art cruise ship terminal, facilities to host super-yachts and provides a full range of professional marine services.

Gibraltar’s long-standing focus on strong regulatory compliance, transparency and good corporate governance has successfully differentiated it from other international financial centres. Gibraltar continues to develop and adopt innovative legislation to drive its growth as an international financial services centre and tech hub.

During recent years, Block-Chain, Fintech and Digital Money Services have begun to rival insurance services as Gibraltar’s fastest growing high tech sector.
