WHAT NEW TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING IN THE GLOBAL RCBI INDUSTRY ESPECIALLY WITH THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ?
Most countries , it would appear , are starting to veer in the direction of more active types of immigration programs ( for example business start-ups , work-related migration ) rather than the typical passive investment schemes that were popular in the past . This can be seen as a consequence of COVID-19 ravaged economies slowly recovering and trying to focus on recalibration and growth of their local workforce . Most countries have the same level or more demand for immigration but are slowly looking to attract migration that will lead to a flourishing working sector .

WHAT NEW TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING IN THE GLOBAL RCBI INDUSTRY ESPECIALLY WITH THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ?
The crises caused by COVID-19 and climate change have created new opportunities for investors and encouraged us to be innovative in business and practicing sustainability . Safety and security , global mobility , wealth and succession planning remain persistent needs for investors and their families . Immigration is an important element to satisfy this demand and the RCBI industry is well placed to deliver . In this time of economic recovery , we are seeing an expansion of the industry in that more jurisdictions are offering RCBI programs in one form or another . This can only augur well for the industry as we experience the anticipated “ roaring 20s ” of the 21st century .
