The Liechtenstein financial centre remained robust and fast-growing in 2025 - despite a challenging international environment with geopolitical tensions, increasing economic fragmentation and weak global growth.

Client assets managed by the 11 Liechtenstein banks increased by 6.8 percent on a consolidated basis (including foreign group companies) to CHF 538.0 billion in 2025, of which CHF 239.5 billion or 44.5% was attributable to the banks in Liechtenstein. The main reasons for this growth were a sustained high inflow of new money and positive market developments. The result from ordinary activities rose by 19.4% to CHF 857.7 million. The banks' capital and liquidity resources remained stable at an appropriate level.

The Liechtenstein asset management companies also recorded further growth. Client assets under management rose by 6.5 percent to CHF 57.7 billion in 2025, with CHF 28.2 billion invested with Liechtenstein banks. In addition, the number of client relationships increased by around 10.7 percent to 11,723.

The Liechtenstein fund market also developed positively. The fund volume increased to CHF 119.9 billion. 817 funds were licensed in Liechtenstein at the end of 2025.

In the insurance sector, premium income amounted to CHF 4.90 billion in 2025. At 189 percent, the solvency ratio of Liechtenstein insurance companies remained well above the regulatory requirements, underlining the high stability of the sector.

The brochure highlights the great economic importance of the financial center for Liechtenstein. Around 19 percent of all employees work directly in the financial sector or in financial-related services. In addition, more than 50 percent of income tax revenue comes from the financial services sector. The Liechtenstein financial centre continues to be characterized by its strong international network, high regulatory standards and a diversified structure with banks, insurance companies, funds, asset management and fiduciary services. Thanks to its membership of the European Economic Area (EEA), Liechtenstein financial service providers have direct access to the European single market.

The brochure "Financial Center Liechtenstein - Edition 2026" is available for download on the website of the FMA Liechtenstein.
