Gibraltar has one of the most stringent regimes for financial regulation in Europe. It has been recognised as an exemplary 'benchmark' finance centre by the then UK Foreign Secretary Robin Cook.
Gibraltar’s financial services are regulated by an independent Financial Services Commission, established in 1989 to provide strong investor protection in relation to banking, insurance, fund management and the financial services sector in general.
Financial services legislation in Gibraltar is in line with EU and OECD standards.
