Cayman Islands challenges criticism of its offshore banks

Intro:
 

The Cayman Islands challenged a list ranking it among the least cooperative offshore centers in international investigations, even as a group of the world's richest nations prepares to publish its first blacklist said to also include the British territory.

 
Excerpt: ''It's clearly unfair to lump the Caymans in that group with Panama, Vanuatu and Nauru, which are really at the bottom of the pile,'' said David Marchant, who publishes a Miami-based newsletter on the industry called Offshore Alert.

Marchant said the Caymans and the Bahamas, which also was at the bottom of the list, have much stricter licensing requirements. However, he alleged that Caymanian officials have not always been efficient in helping investors who have claims or concerns about shaky investments.
