The Cayman Islands Government has officially launched its Asia office, based in Singapore, aiming to bolster its presence and facilitate business ventures in the region. Headed by the government’s overseas representative to Asia, Gene DaCosta, the Asia office is one of three overseas offices of the Cayman Islands. The Europe office, based in the government's longstanding London office premises, began operating in March this year, and the Washington DC office opened in December, 2022. Deputy Premier and Minister for Financial Services and Commerce André Ebanks says: “Our recent visit to Asia clearly reaffirmed the benefits of providing real-time services and corresponding support in the region. “The Cayman Islands has longstanding, valuable business connections throughout the region, and the government is looking forward to strengthening our financial services position while remaining a good regulatory partner globally.”
