The Liechtenstein economy is widely diversified with a large number of small businesses. Low business tax and easy incorporation rules have prompted many holding companies to establish nominal offices in Liechtenstein. Despite its small size and put a ceiling on natural resources, Liechtenstein has developed into a wealthy, highly industrialized, open or free-enterprise economy with a vital financial service sector and the highest per capita income internationally, making its citizens the richest in the world.
