This session will look at what caused the crisis, the financial impact on clients of Cyprus' offshore sector, which jurisdictions are likely to benefit from Cyprus' problems, and whether the debacle could be repeated in other OFCs.
Tim Ridley (Cayman Islands Monetary Authority), Dr. Richard (Washington DC) , Dr. Warren Coats (former IMF) and Gonzalo (Cayman Islands private sector banking) speak at the Offshore Alert Conference held on May 5-7 2013 in Miami.
