Located in Malaysia, Labuan IBFC lies strategically in the heart of the Asia Pacific region, sharing a common time zone with major Asian cities including Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. It is the leading midshore jurisdiction for companies looking to tap into one of the fastest growing regions in the world, presenting the perfect solution to businesses seeking to connect with Asia’s economies and beyond.

Labuan IBFC is well supported by a comprehensive, modern and internationally recognized legal framework, which provides clear legal provisions and industry guidelines enforced by its regulator, Labuan Financial Services Authority (Labuan FSA).
