Its establishment further underscores the government's commitment to make Labuan a premier IOFC of high repute.
LOFSA is expected to streamline the government machinery in supervising the offshore industry and undertake research and development works as well as to draw up plans for further growth and greater efficiency of the Labuan IOFC.
The challenge for LOFSA is to strategically position Labuan as a vibrant offshore financial centre region. Towards this end, LOFSA currently embarks on a two-prong plan to develop the Labuan IOFC : by creating an integrated offshore financial centre which offers a wide range of offshore products including the development of Islamic instruments; and providing a legal framework conducive for the development of offshore industry in Labuan.
