The Offshore Group of Banking
Supervisors (OGBS) and the Offshore Group of Insurance Supervisors (OGIS)
are to hold their 2001 meetings in Gibraltar. This is the first time that
the two groups will meet concurrently in the same jurisdiction and will
provide an opportunity for the two groups to meet and exchange ideas. The
meetings will be hosted by the Financial Services Commission with the
support of the Government of Gibraltar. It is anticipated that around 80
delegates from all major offshore financial centres will travel to Gibraltar
for the meetings, which are scheduled to take place in June 2001.
The Financial Services Commissioner, Martin Fuggle said that
"Bringing the two Groups together for this type of combined gathering
is an important initiative for the offshore supervisory world,
particularly given the range of international supervisory issues and
developments we all face. The FSC is pleased that OGBS and OGIS have
agreed to come to Gibraltar for this occasion"
