Low business taxes—the maximum tax rate is 18%—and easy incorporation rules have induced about 73 700 holding or so-called letter box companies to establish nominal offices in Liechtenstein providing 30% of state revenues.

Liechtenstein is a member of the European Economic Area (an organization serving as a bridge between EFTA and EU) since May 1995. The government is working to harmonize its economic policies with those of an integrated Europe. GDP: purchasing power parity—$713 million (1996 est.)
