Although Vanuatu is considered an “offshore haven” for financial services companies, all forex brokers in Vanuatu are regulated by the government through the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC). Taking into account that Vanuatu has been such a popular offshore jurisdiction for many years, the VFSC is a well-experienced regulator that still allows forex brokers to operate without too much interference from the government.
Thanks to the regulators hands-off approach, many forex brokers in Vanuatu offer trading leverage that goes all the way up to 1:1,000. This makes Vanuatu one of the countries with the highest trading leverage in the world for non-professional traders.
