"Security - building and gaining trust" Liechtenstein is a constitutional hereditary monarchy. As head of state, the prince has powers held by no other European monarch. The Principalitys political situation, both domestic and foreign, and its legal and economic structure give it very special qualities as a business location. The annual national budget often closes with a surplus, and government borrowing is unknown. Unemployment is low and relations between employees and employers are characterised by a spirit of partnership. The following make Liechtensteins financial sector attractive: Confidentiality obligations for lawyers, trustees and banks are firmly rooted in Liechtenstein law. Low tax. Liberal company law. Progressive investment fund act. Stability of Swiss franc. Very strict banking confidentiality, which affords complete protection of personal privacy. Tough due diligence law. EEA treaty with association with EU, without being a member. EEA benefits from two economic areas: Free movement of goods, services and capital with the EU and Switzerland. No tax harmonisation. No official assistance on tax matters.
