Bahamas Financial Services Board Joins the World Alliance as New Member

This addition marks another important step in the continued expansion of the World Alliance and further strengthens its global network of international financial centers (IFCs). With the Bahamas’ long-standing reputation as a dynamic and globally connected financial hub, its membership reinforces the Alliance’s commitment to diversity, cross-border collaboration, and shared strategic development.

Nekia Horton, CEO of the Bahamas Financial Services Board, shared her enthusiasm about joining the World Alliance, highlighting her strong commitment to advancing cooperation across key priority areas already launched by the Alliance. She emphasized the importance of collective action in addressing the evolving challenges facing global finance — from regulatory developments and innovation to sustainability and competitiveness.

“The opportunity to collaborate with fellow international financial centers through the World Alliance creates meaningful pathways for knowledge exchange and coordinated progress,” she noted, expressing her willingness to actively contribute to ongoing initiatives and future projects.

The World Alliance continues to grow as a platform bringing together a diverse range of IFCs from different regions, regulatory environments, and economic models. This diversity is a key strength, enabling members to share best practices, align on strategic priorities, and collectively shape the future of international finance.

With the Bahamas Financial Centre now part of the network, the World Alliance further solidifies its position as a global forum for cooperation, dialogue, and forward-looking leadership across the international financial ecosystem.
