The International Monetary Funds estimated that Liechtenstein remains vulnerable to the money laundering. Approximately 90% of the financial services offered by the principality are provided to non-residents, noted the IMF, stressing that the latter for the majority "are attracted by flexible and discrete legal structures, a strict bank secrecy and favorable tax provisions". It is particularly difficult to identify the holders of credits placed in the small State, estimates the IMF, adding that "Liechtenstein is especially vulnerable in the phase of distribution in layers of the money bleaching".
