In a positive sign for Bermuda’s economy, Education and Economic Development Minister Dr. Grant Gibbons recently released results showing that the midyear total of new company registrations in 2014 stood higher than any midyear totals for the last five years.
The total of 19,151 local and exempted entities on the register at the end of the second quarter of 2014 was bolstered by the registration of 308 new companies (268 international business related) during that period, a slight increase over the 303 new companies (250 international business related) registered during the same period in 2013.
Expressing pleasure with the continued growth in the total number of new company registrations, Dr. Gibbons said that “These results show that Bermuda is moving in the right direction.”
The upward trend in overall company formations in the first six months of 2014 bodes well for Bermuda and its ongoing prominence as an international financial centre.
