  • FINANCE Offshore Finance.Pdf
    This page intentionally left blank OFFSHORE FINANCE It is estimated that up to 60 per cent of the world’s money may be located oVshore, where half of all financial transactions are said to take place. Meanwhile, there is a perception that secrecy about oVshore is encouraged to obfuscate tax evasion and money laundering. Depending upon the criteria used to identify them, there are between forty and eighty oVshore finance centres spread around the world. The tax rules that apply in these jurisdictions are determined by the jurisdictions themselves and often are more benign than comparative rules that apply in the larger financial centres globally. This gives rise to potential for the development of tax mitigation strategies. McCann provides a detailed analysis of the global oVshore environment, outlining the extent of the information available and how that information might be used in assessing the quality of individual jurisdictions, as well as examining whether some of the perceptions about ‘OVshore’ are valid. He analyses the ongoing work of what have become known as the ‘standard setters’ – including the Financial Stability Forum, the Financial Action Task Force, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The book also oVers some suggestions as to what the future might hold for oVshore finance. HILTON Mc CANN was the Acting Chief Executive of the Financial Services Commission, Mauritius. He has held senior positions in the respective regulatory authorities in the Isle of Man, Malta and Mauritius. Having trained as a banker, he began his regulatory career supervising banks in the Isle of Man.

  • Offshore Markets for the Domestic Currency: Monetary and Financial Stability Issues
    BIS Working Papers No 320 Offshore markets for the domestic currency: monetary and financial stability issues by Dong He and Robert N McCauley Monetary and Economic Department September 2010 JEL classification: E51; E58; F33 Keywords: offshore markets; currency internationalisation; monetary stability; financial stability BIS Working Papers are written by members of the Monetary and Economic Department of the Bank for International Settlements, and from time to time by other economists, and are published by the Bank.

ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISBN 1682-7678 (online) Abstract We show in this paper that offshore markets intermediate a large chunk of financial transactions in major reserve currencies such as the US dollar. We argue that, for emerging market economies that are interested in seeing some international use of their currencies, offshore markets can help to increase the recognition and acceptance of the currency while still allowing the authorities to retain a measure of control over the pace of capital account liberalisation. The development of offshore markets could pose risks to monetary and financial stability in the home economy which need to be prudently managed.

Gray Areas of Offshore Financial Centers Matthew Davis Chancellor's Honors Program Senior Project Introduction Offshore finance often brings to mind illegal activities such as money laundering and tax evasion. Over the years, these shady dealings have become associated with offshore banking due to its lax regulations and strict adherence to client secrecy. On the other hand, offshore financial centers can also be used for legitimate reasons such as setting up offshore hedge funds. Many motives drive the move of funds offshore and increase the activity of offshore financial centers. Some are completely legal, while others focus more on criminal activity. Often, the line between these legal and illegal activities is a very thin one. Specific regulations cannot be made to cover every single new situation, and taxpayers are forced to make decisions about how to interpret the law.

  • Offshore Financial Centers: Parasites Or Symbionts? Andrew K. Rose And
    Offshore Financial Centers: Parasites or Symbionts? Andrew K. Rose and Mark M. Spiegel* Your local crime-lord has one. So do most drug-dealers, white-collar criminals, and Mafioso. Have you got an offshore bank account? Offshore financial centers are often accused of facilitating tax evasion, money laundering, and any number of nefarious activities. Prominent offshore centers have reputations for facilitating all manner of these unsavory practices, though ample opportunities for such activities may also exist for local banks with branches in Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man. All told, there are some forty offshore financial centers (OFCs) spread around the world, mostly in Europe and the Caribbean. There is widespread suspicion that most of them reduce the costs of illicit activity in their neighbors, leading many to characterize OFCs as parasites. While OFCs might encourage bad behavior, their net impact may not be bad for the economy. By providing competition for domestic banks, offshore banks also (inadvertently) lower costs for anyone using the domestic financial system. In their forthcoming article ”Offshore Financial Centers: Parasites or Symbionts?” Rose and Spiegel quantify the indirect competitive benefits of OFCs, and show that they more than offset the costs. That is, OFCs are more accurately viewed as symbionts than parasites. Offshore financial centers (such as the Cayman Islands or Panama) are jurisdictions that oversee a disproportionate level of financial activity by non-residents. Financial activity in OFCs is usually dominated by the provision of intermediation services for larger neighboring countries. In this paper, the authors ask two distinct questions concerning the causes and consequences of OFCs.

  • The Role of Offshore Financial Centres in Globalization
    *THE ROLE OF OFFSHORE FINANCIAL CENTRES IN GLOBALIZATION by Prem Sikka University of Essex, UK. * I am grateful to Lesley Catchpowle and John Christensen for their insightful comments and suggestions. Special thanks are also due to the Research Promotion Fund operated by the University of Essex for funding this work. Address for correspondence: Prem Sikka Department of Accounting, Finance and Management University of Essex Colchester Essex CO4 3SQ, UK. e-mail:[email protected] 1 THE ROLE OF OFFSHORE FINANCIAL CENTRES IN GLOBALIZATION Abstract Capitalism is inherently crisis-ridden, but shows little sign of exhausting itself. It continues to develop new ways of reinvigorating itself and generating economic returns for capital. Globalisation is considered to be the most advanced phase of capitalism. The Offshore Financial Centres (OFCs) are an integral part of globalisation. They facilitate growing mobility of finance by facilitating no/low tax, no/low regulation, secrecy and anonymity to enable footloose capital to roam the world. Their policies play a key role in tax avoidance/evasion, money laundering, flight of capital, degradation of regulation, instability and economic underdevelopment, and have serious consequences for people everywhere. Professional intermediaries, such as accountants and lawyers, play a key role in the development and expansion of OFCs. Despite the veneer of liberal democracy, some OFCs are captured by the finance industry and advance the interests of financial capital. Many OFCs are nurtured and protected by leading Western hegemons with developed capital and financial markets. This paper encourages scholars to study the operations, functions, policies and politics of OFCs by drawing attention to their significance and impact on societies.
