Over the past century, Liechtenstein has transformed from a small agrarian state into a global business and financial center. The Principality is known for its stability, legal certainty, sustainability, and innovation.

Decades of Development

Liechtenstein is a constitutional hereditary monarchy with a democratic-parliamentary system and has maintained a customs and monetary union with Switzerland since 1924. In 1995, the country joined the European Economic Area (EEA), granting it access to the European single market, which currently comprises 27 states and approximately 450 million people.

Liechtenstein is particularly distinguished by its attractive tax system, political, social, and economic stability, and nearly 100 years of established jurisprudence.

Liechtenstein’s financial sector regulation is based on EU directives and supervised by the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority. The country is committed to transparency, tax cooperation, and compliance with international standards. Through the implementation of the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI), various double taxation and tax information agreements, and the introduction of a global minimum tax, Liechtenstein meets internationally recognized tax compliance requirements.

Liechtenstein offers an appealing business environment for both domestic and international investors, as well as financial service providers. Its liberal economic policies, EEA market access, and business-friendly corporate law create ideal conditions, particularly for banks, insurance companies, investment funds, and asset managers. Favorable regulatory frameworks foster innovation and strengthen Liechtenstein’s position in the global economy. Additionally, through the “European Passport” system, financial institutions based in Liechtenstein can provide their services across EU and EEA member states.
