Bermuda

Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory and archipelago located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Recent news highlights several diverse aspects of the island. First, Palmerston, the former chief mouser of the UK Foreign Office, passed away in Bermuda after retiring there. Second, conservation efforts have led to the resurgence of the greater Bermuda snail, a species once thought extinct, after a remnant population was discovered. Over 100,000 snails have been bred and released. Finally, Bermuda's status as a domicile for insurance companies is shifting, with AXA's Hong Kong unit redomiciling to Hong Kong, following a recent law change that simplifies the process. This move, along with others planned, signals a potential change in Bermuda's role as a major insurance hub.
