REGULATED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES
The international financial services sector in Antigua & Barbuda is regulated and supervised by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC). The FSRC is responsible for the regulation and supervision of all international financial institutions, including international banks, international trust corporations, international insurance corporations and interactive gaming and interactive wagering corporations. These amendments described above brought Antigua and Barbuda in line with current international trends towards consolidating the regulation and supervision of financial services under a single regularoty body.
