Subsequent forums were held in Panama, London, and Hong Kong, attracting significant participation. Notably, the Panama forum featured the announcement of a new LatAm Representative Office, set to open by the end of 2026. The London session gathered over 50 stakeholders from the UK and Europe, while the Hong Kong forum concluded the series with over 100 attendees.

The MTR Forum series highlighted key regulatory updates and initiatives. A major focus was on the implementation of the Beneficial Ownership (BO) regime, which aims to enhance transparency and align with international AML/CFT standards. The BVI FSC reported significant progress, with over 86 per cent of companies and 63 per cent of limited partnerships filing BO information as of February 2026.

Additionally, the FSC emphasised its commitment to risk-based supervision, enhanced compliance inspections, and the integration of new technologies like the Virtual Integrated Registry Regulatory General Information Network (VIRRGIN), reflecting its role in maintaining a transparent regulatory framework.
