Yeah my words... ukraine has other problems (again 100.000k soldiers in front of the border) but this fact could push stronger that they join nato, and eu. Georgia is planned for 09/23 or it might get pushed to 24 (saw a newer table). Interesting to see though if they will, but georgia has a huge intend to join eu, and eu will like georgia (since its also a refugee stopping country/border country)
A follow-up on this one.
Would not bank on these govs keeping (and be able to keep) things secret.
True, especially if you are from eu ukraine & georgia are a time game. Look forward to 2023/24/25 when eu is trying to implement them they will share /are forcex to implement registries of companies also (not even talking about the incoming eu asset registry which is planned, which will completly prevent such)
The list of committed jurisdictions is growing fast. Tunisia seems to be the newest candidate. On 16-November-2021 (the former list) it was still listed under "not yet set a date for the first year of exchanges".
it is growing fast and it won't last long before every country on earth has committed to data exchange.
Why is Ukraine "the best jurisdiction"?
I also had an account in Cambodia. It seems it took about three weeks to open. This was years ago. Very easy.
The bank won't report anything under CRS, but they may respond to requests for information if there is such an agreement between North Macedonia and the requesting country. I don't think North Macedonia has signed a lot of agreements that include exchange of information clauses, though, but it's something to look into. Such requests usually have to be very precise (person X with bank Y, not just a blanket request for all of person X).
