Because of these factors the IBFS centre is able to offer benefits to producers and consumers of IBFS goods and services, while at the same time providing an economic benefit to the host country. The investing company is able to produce the services located in the IBFS centre for sale in third countries at significantly lower cost, with no sacrifice in quality.
The third country receiving the finance, product and/or service is able to access the output at a more attractive price. The benefit to the IBFS centre is the wages, fees, taxes and other value added in the centre. There are only a handful of studies which have attempted empirical verification of the extent of efficiency gains due to the use of IBFS centres.
