In a world where national boundaries have ever-decreasing significance to people and to businesses, it should come as no surprise that there is demand for services that facilitate efficient and secure cross-border transactions.
Economic growth in some of the world’s poorest nations is being held back by a lack of financing. International financial centres (IFCs) have a crucial role to play in mobilizing such finance as they can provide secure jurisdictions, fund structuring and tax neutrality for both private investors and public–private co-financing.
International finance centres (IFCs) are thus a part of a global economic system that facilitates more efficient trade in goods and services between nations, and helps to increase overall levels of wealth and prosperity in both developed and developing economies.
The Webinar is going to have speakers discussing:
The International Financial Centre, the role it plays in the global economy, the economic and fiscal Benefits as well as Economic substance for structures.
The role IFCs play in optimising Family Business structures: Legal, Financial and practical insights
How the AFCFTA can be utilised and optimised within the IFC structure to achieve its objectives and if there is a relationship between the goals and objectives of the AFCFTA and the role that IFCs can play to actualize same.
