n 2019, the BVI celebrated the 35th year anniversary of its first international business legislation, the International Business Companies Act, 1984 (the IBC Act). It has paved the financial services’ landscape of the BVI as a well-known and respected international financial centre. Growth in the financial services products offered by the BVI is evidenced by the number of new and innovative legislations enacted since 1984, which keep the BVI relevant, robust and compliant.
