The Quarter 2 Newsletter 2026 highlights Samoa IBFC’s key achievements and initiatives from April to June 2026, focusing on strengthening Samoa’s position as a trusted international financial centre. Despite global economic uncertainty, the organisation continued to expand its international presence through promotional activities in Vietnam, advanced regulatory and compliance initiatives, and improved transparency measures, including progress toward Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) standards. The newsletter also outlines legal updates, the development of a risk-based AML/CFT supervision framework, preparations for Samoa’s upcoming FATF Mutual Evaluation, and ongoing efforts to maintain a competitive, well-regulated business environment.
The newsletter also reports continued growth in Samoa’s international business sector, with an increase in company incorporations and live registrations, demonstrating confidence in the jurisdiction. It showcases Samoa Foundations as an effective wealth preservation solution, recognises top-performing trust company service providers, and highlights major events such as the Samoa IBFC Universal Weightlifting Cup and the Vietnam promotional mission. Finally, it previews upcoming international engagement opportunities, including the America Outbound Summit and the Asia Market Series, which aim to further promote Samoa’s financial services and strengthen global partnerships.
