Introduction
Good morning. I propose to review the ways in which the Bahamian financial services industry serves Bahamian society, and also touch upon a few ways in which this can be and will be improved. I will then outline why the Bahamian jurisdiction’s AML/CFT reputation is a critical determinant of our financial services industry’s ability to prosper and grow, and summarise our current international standing, as represented in various league tables.
