23 April 2008 – Liechtenstein's bankenmagazin interviews Ambassador Peter R. Coneway

The future of the EEA is bright

The Principality is driven by its financial sector, specializing in wealthy individuals and corporations but also a beautiful, small, Alpine country, says US-Ambassador Coneway. It is viewed as a good location for individuals from around the globe to manage assets. But Peter R. Coneway talked also about his Texan nature.

bankenmagazin: Your Excellency, what is the perception of Liechtenstein in the United States?
Ambassador Coneway: For Americans who have not had the pleasure of visiting or knowing someone from Liechtenstein, you would probably hear two things: that the Principality is driven by its financial sector, specializing in wealthy individuals and individuals and corporations, and that it is a beautiful, small, Alpine country with the fairy tale Gutenberg Castle. For Americans who, like me, come from the financial services industry or have traveled to Liechtenstein – or even only to Vienna and visited the Liechtenstein Palace – perceptions of Liechtenstein would be broader: the incredible views, skiing, hiking, your manufacturing companies, specializing in precision instruments/tools and crystal, for example, and your wine!
