Liechtenstein Financial Services Podcast

E13: A conversation about cross-border services for Liechtenstein; benefits of access to the EU and Switzerland

Episode Summary

In this episode, we explore how Liechtenstein benefits from its unique access to both the EU and Switzerland markets through the European Economic Area (EEA) agreement and the Customs and Currency Agreement with Switzerland. We discuss how the passporting regime allows Liechtenstein-based financial services to operate across both regions without separate entities. The episode also highlights how insurance providers can offer products in both markets with a single license and how asset managers benefit from MiFID compliance to serve EU clients. Finally, we touch on the role of the Financial Market Authority (FMA) in ensuring EU regulatory compliance.
