	Offshore Financial Centres (tdctrade.com)
		They consider offshore financial centres to be a problem in international finance, in that the standard of financial regulation in those centres is generally inadequate.
		One way of doing so is to put pressure to bear on the offshore financial centres for upgrading their regulatory standards and, for those who are slow or reluctant to effect improvements, to name and shame them.
		While many financial activities are not permissible onshore, this may not be the case offshore; and so there is a tendency for free markets in the controlled financial instruments to develop offshore, perhaps in non-deliverable form, operating along side the controlled onshore markets.

	Offshore Fox: Offshore Financial Privacy, Offshore Havens and More
		Whilst some of the criticisms were directed at those individual offshore centres that perhaps lacked appropriate regulation, attempts have also been made to smear the offshore financial industry as a whole.
		The smear campaign against offshore financial centres has changed the world's offshore map: some traditional offshore havens have been turned into international outcasts, others have changed their ways, and a few can no longer be called "offshore" as we used to understand it.
		How long the transition period lasts is entirely dependent on the resilience and ingenuity of offshore financial planners, and the resolve of the global authorities that seek to impose their order at the expense of our freedoms.

		While the term originates from the Channel Islands "offshore" from Britain, and most offshore banks are located in island nations to this day, the term is used figuratively to refer to such banks regardless of location.
		Although offshore banks sometimes do not report income to other tax authorities this does not make the non-declaration of the income or the evasion of the tax on that income legal in most jurisdictions.
		Offshore banks (and offshore corporations) can be used for tax evasion and to shift assets beyond the reach of litigation.

		The island’s commitments to escape the fllist were sweeping and, for a certain sort of investor, worrying.
		Nearly half of the island’s income (42 per cent) comes from its international financial services business and last year the sector produced growth of 21 per cent.
