Minister of Financial Services, Trade and Industry Elsworth Johnson<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Considerable effort to develop a product that is second to none<\/h3>\n

The Bahamas remains the envy of international financial centers despite its challenges, Minister of Financial Services, Trade and Industry Elsworth Johnson said yesterday, adding that the country\u2019s delisting from the European Union\u2019s (EU) grey list has brought a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have 400,000 people, but we are punching above our weight. Where we sit, there are people who would want to remove that in their jurisdictions. So, we have to continue to encourage young persons to come into the industry, continue to train and continue to have those persons around the world \u2013 some of the best and brightest minds \u2013 to come to The Bahamas,\u201d Johnson told\u00a0Guardian Business<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those that are practicing here it is a sigh of relief. What we have done is created a triparty approach so that it\u2019s not just government, it\u2019s government, civil society, industry and Bahamians in the international diaspora working hard to develop a product that is second to none.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sector is being promoted through the Bahamas Financial Services Board<\/h3>\n

Johnson said now that the industry has moved pass this hurdle, it is time to shore up and expand its offerings, particularly in the wake of the recent departure of major banks from this jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always concerning when persons leave because The Bahamas will always want to have that competitive advantage. Financial services is a rigorous experience because there are so many jurisdictions trying to get what you are trying to get to bring to The Bahamas. So sometimes people will leave, but we\u2019re doing our promotions through BFSB (Bahamas Financial Services Board),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are showing the world. We just came off the blacklist, showing that we are a transparent, honest jurisdiction and that we will not harbor anything that is against international law or betray any treaties that we have signed. And so, we are diligently looking at new products and services, for example cryptocurrency, to see how we can stay where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n
