The Dominican Republic is situated on the eastern part of the second-largest island in the Greater Antilles, Hispaniola. It shares the island roughly at a 2:1 ratio with Haiti. The country’s area is reported variously as 48,442 km² (by the embassy in the United States)[2] and 48,730 km² (by the U.S. CIA),[1] ) making it the second largest country in the Antilles, after Cuba. The country’s capital and greatest metropolitan area, Santo Domingo, is located on the southern coast.

There are many small offshore islands and cays that are part of the Dominican territory. The two largest islands near shore are Saona, in the southeast, and Beata, in the southwest. To the north, at distances of 100–200 kilometres (62–120 mi), are three extensive, largely submerged banks, which geographically are a southeast continuation of the Bahamas: Navidad Bank, Silver Bank, and Mouchoir Bank. Navidad Bank and Silver Bank have been officially claimed by the Dominican Republic.

The country’s mainland has four important mountain ranges. The most northerly is the Cordillera Septentrional (“Northern Mountain Range”), which extends from the northwestern coastal town of Monte Cristi, near the Haitian border, to the Samaná Peninsula in the east, running parallel to the Atlantic coast. The highest range in the Dominican Republic — indeed, in the whole of the West Indies — is the Cordillera Central (“Central Mountain Range”). It gradually bends southwards and finishes near the town of Azua, on the Caribbean coast. In the Cordillera Central are found the four highest peaks in the Caribbean: Pico Duarte (3,098 metres/10,160 feet above sea level), La Pelona (3,094 metres/10,150 feet, La Rucilla (3,049 metres/10,000 feet) and Pico Yaque (2,760 metres/9,100 feet).

In the southwest corner of the country, south of the Cordillera Central, there are two other ranges. The more northerly of the two is the Sierra de Neiba, while in the south the Sierra de Bahoruco is a continuation of the Massif de la Selle in Haiti. There are other, minor mountain ranges, such as the Cordillera Oriental (“Eastern Mountain Range”), Sierra Martín García, Sierra de Yamasá and Sierra de Samaná.

Between the Central and Northern mountain ranges lies the rich and fertile Cibao valley. This major valley is home to the city of Santiago and most of the farming areas in the nation. Rather less productive is the semi-arid San Juan Valley, south of the Central Cordillera. Still more arid is the Neiba Valley, tucked between the Sierra de Neiba and the Sierra de Bahoruco. Much of the land in the Enriquillo Basin is below sea level, with a hot, arid, desert-like environment. There are other smaller valleys in the mountains, such as the Constanza, Jarabacoa, Villa Altagracia, and Bonao valleys.

Best Tax Havens in the World Right Now

Posted on 23 January 2010 by Emerging Market Consultant

Best Tax Havens in the World Right Now

Local governments are beginning to crack down on citizens and demand more taxes and less privacy for their citizens. This is when people start looking for safer, less demanding tax havens for investments; thus creating a great need for offshore tax havens. There are tax havens all over the world so finding the right one that has the best benefits for you is very important. Here are some tax havens that Property Consultancy International have researched and found to be worth looking into.

Luxembourg

In terms of per capita, Luxembourg is the richest country in the world.

Cook Islands are 15 small islands in the South Pacific, out of the hustle and bustle of major tourism, but with all the amenities of Island life.

Cayman Islands offer no income, capital gains, gift, or estate taxes on individuals or offshore corporations.

Lichtenstein being one of the first tax havens in history is an easy place for foreigners to set up trusts, providing an offshore haven.

Andorra is a tax haven for those looking to avoid simple personal tax.

Ever since people have been avoiding tax, they have looked to Switzerland. Even though the EU is tightening the ropes on the Swiss banking system, there are still so many benefits to a Swiss Bank.

Gibraltar offers a minimal 1% on gambling tax and with low personal tax; it is fast becoming a popular tax haven.

Belize is not only one of the top emerging markets of today, but also makes our top list on tax havens. With shareholders and directors names concealed, Belize is fast becoming the most sought after location.

Cyprus’s citizens are the happiest in the world right now when it comes to tax. If the citizens are happy, then there must be reason to be happy.

Greneda, being one of the best in bank trust laws, provides strict confidentiality to offshore corporations.

Dubai is fast becoming the number one UAE commercial gateway for investors seeking to do business with Russian Companies.

Governments Are Loosening Offshore Property Markets

Governments Are Loosening Offshore Property Markets

There are still golden opportunities to be had for nonresident property owners amidst the global property drop. A increasing number of governments have become more open to foreign investors, loosening or temporarily suspending property laws in hopes of stimulating there real- estate markets. Governments have been doing this for years in response to slow down swelling interest.

Beijing, for example, has suspended their one year residency requirement for foreigners to buy property. The Cayman Islands and Australia are amongst the other nations loosening restrictions.

Our recently slow property market, has once again created a need for governments to stimulate there property market. Cayman Islands temporarily lowered rates on there real estate transfer taxes, including drop of 2.5% on waterfront property. The Islands’ real estate brokers group announced a 20% rebate on all commissions, which will last through till September 30.

Most Western EU countries, including France, Italy and UK, do not have strict laws on foreign nationals owning property. Restrictions on foreign ownership are mainly found in emerging property markets, such as outright bans and high transfer taxes. Much of it depends when and how much money investors can repatriate or whether the purchase is residence or an investment.

While some governments believe that foreign investments spur on the economy, others blame it for driving prices to higher levels.

Now is the perfect time to start or increase your offshore investments. The key is to know when and where to put your money, not every country is right for you.

Property Consultancy International can help you get invested.

Silver Lining in the Global Economies

Posted on 05 May 2009 by Emerging Market Consultant

Silver Lining

Silver Lining

Over the past few months, there has been some controversy on whether or not to invest in emerging markets. Will countries like Brazil, Belize and Bulgaria remain prime locations for offshore investments and offer high return investment opportunities? The answer is yes; thanks to the benefit of Emerging markets. No matter how slow the global economy, emerging markets are still developing, are still increasing, and are still offering you a chance to invest and receive a return within the next few years.

“Real estate in both emerging and developed markets outside the United States offers some of the best investment opportunities in the world right now. ” – Ricardo Griffin – The Offshore Guru at OMA. Ltd, International Offshore Consultants, located in Panama.

According to Barton Biggs, Chief Global Strategist, and Chairman Morgan Stanley of “Pensions and Investments,” “Global real estate will be the only major asset class that could deliver double digit percentage returns over the next five years.”

Off plan property investments in these markets generate the highest and fastest capital investments. This is due in part to the high level of tourism in these locations. Countries like Belize are currently becoming hot spots for travel. Even during a global economic downturn, many people are still going on vacation. If you are ever at an airport, have a look at how many people are still traveling. People who are working are still earning the same amount of money, and with flight prices down, travel is made easy.

Property Consultants International is able to see the silver lining behind our global recession; we would like the opportunity to show you the best locations for your most rewarding investment.

What are Emerging Markets? part 3..

Posted on 04 May 2009 by Emerging Market Consultant

Emerging Markets

Emerging Markets

How do they change the traditional view of development?

The rise of emerging markets is changing the traditional view of development as follows.

· First, foreign “investment” is replacing foreign “assistance.” Investing in the emerging markets is no longer associated with the traditional notion of providing development assistance to poorer nations.

· Second, emerging markets are rationalizing their trade relations and capital investment with industrialized countries. Trade and capital flows are directed more toward new market opportunities, and less by political consideration.

· Third, the increasing two-way trade and capital flows between emerging markets and industrialized countries reflect the transition from dependency to global interdependency. The accelerated information exchange, especially with the aid of the Internet, is integrating emerging markets into the global market at a faster pace.

What challenges do they face?

In their effort to create a market economy and to ensure sustainable development, emerging markets still face big challenges that come from fundamental problems associated with their traditional economic and political systems. A market economy requires those countries to redefine the role of the government in the development process and to reduce the government’s undue intervention.

Another serious problem that those countries have to confront is controlling corruption, which distorts the business environment and impedes the development process. An even more challenging task for those countries is to undertake structural reforms with their financial system, legal system, and political system, so as to guarantee a disciplined and stable economy that is relatively free of political disturbances and interference.

What are their prospects?

Emerging markets are the “key swing factor” in the future growth of world trade and global financial stability, and they will become critical players in global politics. They have a huge untapped potential and they are determined to undertake domestic reforms to support sustainable economic growth. If they can maintain political stability and succeed with their structural reforms, their future is promising.

What are Emerging Markets? part 2…

Posted on 03 May 2009 by Emerging Market Consultant

Emerging Markets

Emerging Markets

What brings them into being?

There are two potential causes for the creation of emerging markets: the failure of state-led economic development and the need for capital investment.

· First, state-led economic development failed to produce sustainable growth in the traditional developing countries. This failure and its tremendous negative impact pushed those countries to adopt open door policies, and to change from the state’s being in charge of the economy to facilitating economic growth along market-oriented lines.

· Second, the developing counties desperately needed capital to finance their development, but the traditional government borrowing failed to fuel the development process. In the past, the governments of the developing countries borrowed either from commercial banks or from foreign governments and multilateral lenders like the IMF and the Word Bank.

This often resulted in heavy debt overload and led to a severe economic imbalance. The past track record of many developing countries also demonstrates their inability to well manage and efficiently operate the borrowed funds to support economic growth.

In light of the unsatisfactory results of government borrowing, developing countries began to rely on equity investment as a means of financing economic growth. They seek to attract equity investment from private investors who will become their partners in development.

To attract equity financing, a developing country has to establish the preconditions of a market economy and create a business climate that meets the expectations of foreign investors.

This change in financing sources thus became another factor leading to the rise of emerging markets.

What Are Emerging Markets?.. part one

Posted on 01 May 2009 by Emerging Market Consultant

Emerging Markets

Emerging Markets

What Are Emerging Markets?

What are they?

Emerging markets are countries that are restructuring their economies along market-oriented lines and offer a wealth of opportunities in trade, technology transfers, and foreign direct investment. According to the World Bank, the five biggest emerging markets are China, India, Indonesia, Brazil and Russia. Other countries that are also considered as emerging markets include Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Poland, Turkey, and South Korea. These countries made a critical transition from a developing country to an emerging market. Each of them is important as an individual market and the combined effect of the group as a whole will change the face of global economics and politics.

What makes them different?

Emerging markets stand out due to four major characteristics.

· First, they are regional economic powerhouses with large populations, large resource bases, and large markets. Their economic success will spur development in the countries around them; but if they experience an economic crisis, they can bring their neighbors down with them.

· Second, they are transitional societies that are undertaking domestic economic and political reforms. They adopt open door policies to replace their traditional state interventionist policies that failed to produce sustainable economic growth.

· Third, they are the world’s fastest growing economies, contributing to a great deal of the world’s explosive growth of trade. By 2020, the five biggest emerging markets’ share of world output will double to 16.1 percent from 7.8 percent in 1992. They will also become more significant buyers of goods and services than industrialized countries.

· Fourth, they are critical participants in the world’s major political, economic, and social affairs. They are seeking a larger voice in international politics and a bigger slice of the global economic pie.
