About Labuan
An island territory of Malaysia, and since 1990 the home of Labuan IBFC — a credible, well-regulated centre for international finance and wealth.
Labuan, Federal Territory of Malaysia.
Labuan, officially the Federal Territory of Labuan, is an island territory of Malaysia off the coast of Sabah in East Malaysia. Since 1990 it has been established as an international financial centre, home to Labuan IBFC.
Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (Labuan IBFC) sits off the north-west coast of Borneo and offers global investors a well-regulated jurisdiction with fiscal, legal, and currency neutrality — an efficient base for genuine substance. It is a wholesale centre for finance, risk, and wealth management, with structures spanning conventional, Islamic, and digital business, and is recognised as a pioneer in Islamic finance as the home of the world's first sukuk.
A single, credible regulator.
The jurisdiction operates within a comprehensive, internationally recognised legal framework, enforced by a single regulator — the Labuan Financial Services Authority (Labuan FSA), a statutory body under Malaysia's Ministry of Finance. Its adherence to international standards on prudential supervision, anti-money laundering, and the exchange of information underpins a safe and credible business environment.
