The Group participated in the IMF Fifth Round Table for Offshore and Onshore Supervisors and Standard Setters held in Basel in January 2008 focussing on transparency issues.

In June 2008 the Group made a submission to the UK House of Commons Treasury Select Committee in response to that Committee’s announcement that it was to study the role of offshore financial centres for financial stability and transparency. The Group has been invited as an observer at meetings organised by the UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
