Established in 2002 as a result of the Government's commitment to support the financial services industry, the BVI IFC has played an exceptionally important role in the promotion and marketing of the BVI as a leading financial centre. The main task of the IFC is to make sure that the BVI retains the balance in having a sound regulatory framework, an entrepreneurial business community and BVI government. IFC is not involved in financial regulation, which is the sole responsibility of the BVI Financial Services Commission, also established in 2002.
