The booming economy of the Isle of Man is largely due to the
success of the financial services industry - the largest sector on
the Island.
The main activities of the sector include deposit-taking, asset
protection and management, packaged investments such as unit
trusts, life assurance and also corporate management.
Markets for these services are world-wide and the Isle of Man has
built an exceptional reputation as a centre of excellence for
expatriate banking.
Regulation of the finance sector in the Isle of Man is carried out
by the Financial Supervision Commission and the Insurance and
Pensions Authority.
