Bermuda to host finance forum
MONDAY, MAY 16: A global forum on transparency and exchange of information will take place in Bermuda on May 30.
Premier Paula Cox said: “The architects of the tax revenue aspects of the Global Finance System will be among us next week with many arriving this coming weekend.
"Among them are heads of state, ministers of finance and deputy ministers and their equivalents from all the who's who countries involved in operating international financial centres."
Powerhouse G20 countries to small island jurisdictions will attend, with more than 200 senior government officials descending on our shores.
The Premier believes all residents will benefit from Bermuda hosting the OECD Global Forum.
She said: "Our international business executives understand the significance of this event to their businesses but what does hosting this conference mean to Bermudians?
"Some delegates are booking accommodations at one of our small guest houses on South Shore, which pleases me to see small business benefit.
“No doubt some delegates may visit Harbour Nights and meet our Bermudian vendors and entertainers and yes, they will shop and shop.”
A selection of senior school students will attend sections of the conference to observe.[[In-content Ad]]
