The Financial Center of Liechtenstein – Stable and Strategically Positioned
The Principality of Liechtenstein is located in the heart of Europe along the Rhine River, bordering Switzerland and Austria. It was founded in 1719 through the unification of the lordships of Schellenberg and Vaduz under Prince Johann Adam Andreas of Liechtenstein and has a long history of political stability and economic strength.
Recognized by the World Bank as one of the most politically stable countries, Liechtenstein owes its strength to its geopolitical location and its unique constitutional monarchy. The princely family enjoys high regard; the Head of State is Hereditary Prince Alois, who has exercised the powers of government since 2004.
Unlike many other small financial centers, Liechtenstein has a strong industrial sector, accounting for around 40% of GDP. As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), the country is closely integrated with the EU legal framework and has unrestricted access to European capital markets
With a robust legal system, a AAA rating from Standard & Poor’s, and highly qualified professionals, Liechtenstein ranks among the leading locations for managing complex wealth structures.
A Strong Regulatory Environment
Liechtenstein’s fiduciary and corporate structures are based on the Persons and Companies Act (PGR) and the Trust Companies Act (TrUG). Due to its EEA membership, corporate law is fully harmonized with EU regulations.
The Due Diligence Act (SPG) and the Due Diligence Ordinance (SPV) set strict standards for KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures and apply to banks, financial service providers, lawyers, fiduciaries, and other licensed professionals.
The Financial Market Authority Liechtenstein (FMA) was established in 2005 as an independent authority. It operates autonomously on a public-law basis and reports directly to the Parliament (Landtag), ensuring a high level of transparency and oversight in the financial sector.
