We are delighted to introduce this new-style BSL to you. For its fifth year, the Guide to Banking in Switzerland and Liechtenstein has adopted a fresh and trendy design. With its modern approach, this publication will surely meet all your expectations now that two bilingual versions are available.

The aim and original guiding concept remain unchanged, namely to give our
readers the benefit of content written and approved by the foremost financial
and economic experts of our financial centre. New authors and contributors add their own material each year to the BSL, putting an apt perspective on issues of private banking, BtoB exchanges, real estate and fiscal aspects of our society. Details of the open Swiss position on the Liechtenstein market,
international financial exchanges and the new rules of crossborder cooperation will bring answers to the pertinent questions which you have been asking.

We welcome the fact that more and more of you are putting your trust in BSL as readers, partners and contributors. We thank you for this confidence placed in us and invite you to relax, in the course of your reading, in our new Luxury Club space.

We do hope you enjoy reading this edition!
