What Makes Liechtenstein Special: A Comprehensive Look at the Principality
What makes Liechtenstein unique? The new Liechtenstein Report 2025, published by USA Today, offers a comprehensive perspective. It highlights the country’s economic strength, industrial backbone, and financial expertise—proving how this small nation plays a significant role on the global stage.
A key focus of the report is Liechtenstein’s accession to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). HSH Hereditary Prince Alois underscores the importance of this step for economic stability: without a central bank, IMF membership provides additional security and opens doors for international cooperation.
Liechtenstein’s industrial sector also stands out. With companies like Hilti, Thyssenkrupp Presta, and Ivoclar, the country is a global leader in high-tech industries. Deputy Prime Minister Sabine Monauni highlights how this sector not only drives growth but also ensures economic resilience.
The financial industry remains a cornerstone of success. Simon Tribelhorn, CEO of the Liechtenstein Bankers Association, points out that Liechtenstein is not only attractive for private banking and wealth management but is also pioneering sustainable finance and blockchain regulation.
Another key topic is the close economic relationship with the United States. The US is Liechtenstein’s largest trade partner after the EU. Prime Minister Daniel Risch emphasizes how many Liechtenstein companies operate successfully in the US, while the Principality serves as a gateway to European markets.
