\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunshine, a lower cost of living and the inevitable low rate of taxation are what brought Michel*, a retired Geneva private banker, to Panama last year. Swiss banks have also been casting their net in the Latin American state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had enough with having to pay so much tax in Europe\u201d, the dapper-dressed man explained on a recent sunny, hot day in the skyscraper-filled centre of Panama.<\/p>\n

While Panama is renowned for its light tax burden, including tax exemption on foreign-earned income for foreign residents, it was the growing pressure from international fiscal authorities on banks and clients back in Europe, and mounting competition from other financial centres, that has had many Swiss financial institutions looking for sunnier horizons elsewhere.<\/p>\n

In February, Lugano-based BSI was granted a banking license to operate here, while UBS, Credit Suisse and Lombard Odier, amongst others, have advisory offices, which act as liaisons between the banks and their clients. In November last year, Julius Baer began operating a wealth management business from Panama, which it had acquired from Merrill Lynch.<\/p>\n

PKB Privatbank was the first Swiss private bank to open in Panama in 2012. \u201cWe wanted to diversify our client channels and expand in Latin America,\u201d Francesco Catanzaro, the Panama bank\u2019s manager told swissinfo.ch.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Lombard Odier explained by email: \u201cWe set up an office in Panama one year ago to be closer to the local client base,\u201d adding that the country \u201cis, and has historically been, a regional hub for financial services in the region\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is plenty of economic growth in the region and it is a promising market\u201d for bankers and asset managers, according to Giuseppe A Marca, Swiss owner of GaMFOs, a multi-client family office in Panama.<\/p>\n

But competition for this lucrative market is tight amongst the increasing number of asset managers interested in entering the region, A Marca explained. \u201cYou need to have been in the market before, otherwise it is very difficult to enter\u201d.<\/p>\n

Catanzaro said United States banks, which hold \u201cthe main chunk of the business\u201d, would send bankers into the zone to create accounts for their clients in the US, maintaining a minimal physical presence. This, he said, offered others business opportunities. In the end, he added,\u00a0 \u201cThe private banking market is very underdeveloped here\u201d.<\/p>\n

The PKB Privatbank manager said that Panama remains small, in terms of the value of assets under management, at an estimated USD 80 billion compared to approximately USD 2 trillion in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

But that figure is expected to grow exponentially.<\/p>\n

Out of regulators\u2019 reach<\/h4>\n

\u201cThings have become very difficult in Switzerland, with all the publicised cases involving some of the banks, and the new rules that are being put into place, where there will no longer be banking secrecy,\u201d explained Roberto Aleman. Aleman is a partner at the legal firm Icaza, Gonzalez-Ruiz & Aleman, which has offices in many offshore centres \u2013 including Panama and Geneva \u2013 and offers financial services for corporate, public and individual clients.<\/p>\n

Aleman told swissinfo.ch that Swiss bankers might have been motivated to come to Panama because it\u2019s \u201cwhere they believe they can better protect the confidentiality of their clients\u201d.<\/p>\n

But Catanzaro warns that changes in banking regulations requiring disclosure of client information are also taking place in Panama, \u201cThe pace is somewhat slower, but tendencies to comply with OECD standards are here\u201d.<\/p>\n

Aleman stated that the United States, through its own Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (Fatca), will not be overly concerned with other people associated with the US, having Swiss bank accounts in Panama. \u201cI don\u2019t think the authorities are that far-reaching\u201d.<\/p>\n

The lawyer nonetheless said that regulations for opening bank accounts in Panama have become stricter. Know your client (KYC) rules now apply, requiring that one of the beneficial account owners be present when the account is opened, and be interviewed by the bank.<\/p>\n

Icaza, Gonzalez-Ruiz & Aleman, one of Panama\u2019s oldest legal firms, has set up thousands of corporations or companies for foreign citizens, including Swiss, who benefit from very low taxation, and confidentiality.<\/p>\n

Following a new regime introduced here last year, bearer shares in Panamanian corporations must be immobilised under the safekeeping of a custodian. Bearer shares are freely transferable securities, which do not require the inscription of the owner\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

Aleman said that while \u201cbearer shares were more or less going into extinction\u201d, they still were useful \u201cfor estate planning and for businesses that are declared\u201d.<\/p>\n

A site sourcing information about Panamanian companies from the national mercantile registry created by a hacker (see link), presents dozens of corporations directed by Swiss private bankers and lawyers.<\/p>\n

In April last year, the Offshore Leaks project, carried out by dozens of journalists around the world, revealed names of people linked to offshore accounts. The Swiss newspapers, Matin Dimanche and SonntagsZeitung, stated that between 200 and 300 Swiss lawyers were actively involved in assisting clients evade taxes, by setting up offshore accounts in tax-free companies, including in Panama.<\/p>\n

Aleman stated that when a Swiss banker or lawyer\u2019s name is registered in numerous companies, \u201cI would say that they are catering to or providing a service for their clients.\u201d He added though that \u201csome of them may have companies for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

As \u201can important percentage\u201d of Aleman\u2019s business consisted of company creation for Swiss clients, the disappearance of banking secrecy in Switzerland has strongly impacted the firm. \u201cThere are a lot of dissolutions of companies registered in the Panama public registry, and people are just abandoning the companies and not having bank accounts in the name of the companies\u201d.<\/p>\n

When asked what legal alternatives existed for clients seeking confidentiality, Aleman replied, \u201cIt is more and more difficult. We are moving more towards a situation where confidentiality is no longer going to be the name of the game\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people want to have money outside of their country, they are going to have to declare that money, and they may use a company to use an account. But the money will be declared in their country of origin,\u201d the Panamanian said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything now is due diligence. It\u2019s a whole new ball game,\u201d the partner explained.<\/p>\n
