Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (IBFC)

Labuan IBFC is Malaysia's very own integrated financial centre, providing a wide range of corporate, trust and company secretarial services.

It was made a Federal Territory directly under the administration of the Federal Government of Malaysia in 1984. The development of Labuan as an international financial centre only began in October 1990. The statutory body responsible for the development of Labuan IBFC is the Labuan Offshore Financial Services Authority (LOFSA).

Beginning January 2008, Labuan IOFC has been repositioned as Asia's most connected, convenient and cost-efficient International Business and Financial Centre, with a specific focus on business incorporations.

Effective from 11 February 2010, a new set of legislations had been gazetted to bring a series of new products and enhancing the present legislations structure, so as to ensure Labuan IBFC remains its competitiveness amongst the international financial industry around the region.

In tandem with the new legislations, LOFSA has changed its name to the Labuan Financial Services Authority (commonly known as the “Labuan FSA”).
