Global Jurisdiction Index
A Data-Driven Benchmark for the World’s Leading Business Hubs
Global Competitiveness at a Glance
There is no single “perfect” jurisdiction — different hubs win on different dimensions, and the right choice depends on your structures, sector, and risk appetite.
Key Use Cases:
Onshore hubs
such as UAE, Singapore, UK, Switzerland, and leading EU centres balance credibility, infrastructure, and market access, often at higher cost.
Offshore centres
such as Cayman, BVI, Bermuda, and others excel for specific structures (funds, holdings, SPVs, trusts) but face tighter regulatory and transparency expectations.
Hybrid / mid-shore models
bridge classic offshore benefits with increasing substance, regulation, and reputational requirements.
Why the GJI Matters
The Global Jurisdiction Index (GJI) is an independent benchmark that measures how competitive the world’s leading onshore hubs and offshore financial centres are for international business, investment, and wealth structuring. It helps you:
Identify secure, stable, and growth-ready jurisdictions.
Understand trade-offs between cost, tax, governance, lifestyle, and innovation.
Avoid making critical jurisdictional decisions based on outdated reputation or marketing alone.
