In connection with this fact, the banking system is actively developing for servicing the business operation. According to statistics, 20% of GDP is formed by the banking sector (in Switzerland this figure is only 11%). That is why, in view of the rapid development of the financial sector of the Principality, to open an account in Liechtenstein is the need for international businesspersons and investors.
