To maintain Vanuatu’s position as an international finance centre with high regulatory standards by:

  • ensure that all entities that are authorised meet fit and proper criteria;

  • ensure that all regulated entities are operating within accepted standards of good regulatory practice;

  • match international standards in respect of investment business and trust company business, and anti-money laundering and terrorist financing defences;

  • identify and deter abuses and breaches of regulatory standards; and
