Bermuda's Ministry of Finance to Broaden Worldwide Investor Outreach.

HAMILTON, Bermuda -- Bermuda's Ministry of Finance has announced the appointment of Marston Webb International as PR and media relations consultants to the Ministry.

Bermuda's Financial Secretary, Donald Scott, said the agency will be responsible for promoting the myriad of business opportunities available in Bermuda for persons wishing to conduct business in a premier international financial center.

Mr. Scott said that the Ministry will be taking every opportunity to bring Bermuda's story to the many companies and financial institutions throughout the world who seek to establish their business in a stable, premier international financial center. "Bermuda has, through the years, established an enviable reputation as an international financial center whose administrative skills in fund management, banking and wealth management have helped many U.S. and international firms grow their business and improve their competitiveness. The Bermuda insurance market is renowned around the world for its leadership and its ability to service major international enterprises," he said.

As financial turmoil spreads around the globe, the challenge now is for Bermuda's business sector to remain globally competitive. We believe that broadening our outreach program with Marston Webb this year will help consolidate and grow our position still further as a leading international business and financial hub," said, Secretary Scott.

Based in New York, and with associate agencies in major markets around the world, Marston Webb provides investor relations, PR and media consultancy to a number of foreign government investment agencies and publicly traded companies in North American and abroad.
