CEO'S MESSAGE
Last month, my team and I spent a week in the Gulf reaching out to potential business leaders, and business owners, offering Labuan IBFC as the region’s gateway to Asia. We would like to thank everyone we met for their support, and we look forward to seeing you again in November!
Being a substance-enabling midshore centre allows us to cater to the needs of businesses around the region, especially as together we brave the new world of transparency. Our lead article this month delves into this very topic, providing Labuan IBFC’s unique perspective. Do let us know what you think via [email protected]
Looking forward, the Asian Captive Conference returns on Aug 1-2, and is now open for registration. So do register early to enjoy a modest registration fee of a mere MYR300! So visit www.theasiancaptiveconference.com for an updated agenda and list of speakers.
Last but not least, Ramadan Kareem to all Muslims in this holy month, may the light of the season guide us throughout the year.
