KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- The Commonwealth of Dominica came out tops in the annual citizenship by investment (CBI) Index, a rating system designed to measure the performance and appeal of global CBI programmes across a diverse range of indicators.
The index is intended as a practical tool to compare CBI programmes based on nine pillars -- freedom of movement, the standard of living, minimum investment outlay, mandatory travel or residence, citizenship timeline, ease of processing, due diligence, family and certainty of product.
Rated number one for six consecutive years, Dominica beat 11 other nations with active CBI programmes and scored full marks in the areas of minimum investment outlay, mandatory travel or residence, ease of processing, due diligence, family and certainty of product, according to a statement.
It said Dominica continues to be on a concerted drive to offer investors – through its Economic Diversification Fund and government-approve real estate options – a reliable safe haven amidst the constant global upheavals.
The CBI Index is the world’s most definitive guide on CBI, published by PWM Magazine, a publication from the Financial Times, in collaboration with CS Global Partners.
