BVI premier targets Asia markets, China business https://lnkd.in/gFFg33v7 British Virgin Islands Premier Natalio Wheatley has doubled down on efforts to maintain an active investment stream from Greater China, while moving in quickly to secure new growth sources in Asia amid geopolitical uncertainties. Wheatley, also the BVI Finance, Financial Services and Trade Minister, visited the Law.asia office on 17 February as he led a delegation on an Asia-Pacific tour. Wheatley has said he wants to further deepen the BVI’s engagement with Shenzhen, pointing out that the relationship with the city pertains to their interests in technology, artificial intelligence and electric vehicles, which the Chinese tech hub is well known for. Wheatley also singled out India and Asean as high potential targets for strategic partnerships to promote BVI business. The BVI premier told Law.asia that his government sought to enter into co-operation agreements with those financial centres, formalising complementary partnerships that would allow for mutual benefit. But even as the British Virgin Islands doubles down on new targets for regional expansion, Greater China remains the core of its regional operations.
