The Independent Financial Centre of the Americas is a purpose built 21st Century financial city and trading platform. Privately owned and built on a green-field site half the size of Manhattan, the Centre follows a technologically advanced blueprint refined over years of rigorous research, deliberately fashioned to generate value for its tenants within a new jurisdiction that ensures effective and positive regulation.
The ground-breaking legislation that enables the creation of the world’s first privately owned international financial centre creates a regulatory environment that operates in accordance with leading international regulatory compliance standards, and surpasses current transparency and governance requirements. The Centre is designed, organised, developed and constructed to exceed the existing expectations of the international financial community.
At the core of the Centre's world-class infrastructure will be a clearing and settlement facility for OTC derivates. It will create a focal point for the Latin American financial marketplace, transforming the region's status within the global economy. A wide range of support services for tenants will seed the major commercial, recreational and residential development surrounding the Centre. This new metropolitan environment will provide a combination of economic opportunity and lifestyle benefits unequalled in the world.
The strength of our value proposition becomes even more evident as countries around the globe adopt actions to minimize the effects of the 2008 financial turmoil. The regulation, transparency, technology and risk management measures that have been put into place have all been carefully considered so as to protect and benefit the companies that operate in the Centre.
