Why You Should Consider The International Banking Jurisdiction Of Latvia

Latvia has borders with Belarus, Estonia, Russia and Lithuania and it can be found in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. Latvia is a proud member of the European Union (EU) which it joined in 2004 and it uses the Euro (EUR) as its official currency. There is a population of over 2 million people in Latvia and for its governmental system of democracy it uses a parliamentary system.

Latvia now appears on the world list of high income nations which is produced by the World Bank. The country has a growing economy that is very stable and it also has social and political stability. Of all of the countries in the EU, Latvia’s economy is among those that are growing the fastest. This has had an effect on the country’s GDP per capita which is now around $25,740.

Financial transparency problems have plagued Latvia for a long time, but in recent years the government has taken many positive steps to change this situation. One of the most positive steps was the signing of an agreement with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and now Latvia abides by the provisions of the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI) program.

It has been an objective of the Latvian government for many years to improve the perception of Latvia and present it as a country that is an international banking leader. The financial laws of the country have been improved and a lot of power now resides with the Financial and Capital Market Commission (FCMC), which is the financial regulator. The FCMC now monitors financial institutions and banks in Latvia very closely and ensures that they fully comply with all financial laws.

This means that illegal monetary activities no longer take place in Latvian banks. The FCMC has eradicated all illegal activities such as terrorism funding and money laundering. Today if a bank was caught participating in illegal activities they would have to face severe consequences. Violations of the laws now attract severe penalties and the maximums have been boosted from 10% of net income to 10% of the total turnover. In financial terms the penalties have been raised from a maximum of 140,000 to 5 million Euros.

All of this effort on the part of the Latvian government and the FCMC has really paid off, and the perception of the country as an international banking center has vastly improved. There is no chance of you hiding your money in Latvia any more, but what you can do is choose this jurisdiction for the protection, growth and diversification of assets.

Because Latvia is a member of the EU, the deposits made in their banks will fall under the protection of the EU Deposit Guarantee Scheme. In truth there is little chance of a Latvian bank going in to default these days, especially with the very strict FCMC regulations. But if the worst did happen then your corporate account would be protected up to a maximum of 100,000 Euros (EUR) under the EU scheme. Your Offshore Pro Group consultant will be delighted to provide more information to you about the EU Deposit Guarantee Scheme if you want this.
