Key Highlights
Pressure to limit the role of offshore countries in tax avoidance schemes has impacted asset growth in many of the markets. Such pressures have come in the form of increased regulation and tax amnesties, as in the cases of the US, Germany, Italy, and the UK.

The US is the largest offshore center for deposits, mainly because of its reputation as a safe haven. France, Germany and the UK, in second, third and fourth place respectively, are not usually associated with traditional offshore centers; however, high values of non-resident assets are held in these countries.

The US has by far the largest non-resident holdings of bonds among the 55 countries examined, worth over $9tn in 2014. Other markets with significant non-resident bond holdings are France, Germany and Italy.
