WHAT NEW TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING IN THE GLOBAL RCBI INDUSTRY ESPECIALLY WITH THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ?
Global RCBI is experiencing unprecedented surges in demand . Covid-19 has been the wake-up call for many global citizens as they have discovered their nationality has severely limited their ability to travel , obtain visas and live in another country . As a result , the global investor industry has exploded as people realize that the passports or visas they have are inadequate , because of their nationality . Having a lawful residence permit or a second passport greatly enhances one ’ s ability to travel and live in another country .

WHAT NEW TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING IN THE GLOBAL RCBI INDUSTRY ESPECIALLY WITH THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ?
The trend is to think outside one ’ s own boundaries in every sense . To use a respected industry colleague ’ s words , “ spread one ’ s wings ” appears to be the call of Covid-19 . I think this means good things for the global RCBI industry , and indeed , for our world community generally . We ’ re all called to be practical and smart about our resources .
