The Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance, Rupert Pleasant, has
welcomed the addition of several high-profile new listings as part
of a record first quarter for The International Stock Exchange,
which is headquartered in Guernsey.
During the first three months of 2021, 225 new securities were
listed on TISE, the most since the Exchange's formation in 1998
and a rise in the total number by more than the 2.3% from the end
of Q4 2020.
Mr Pleasant said: "This is great news for the
reputation of Guernsey's finance sector as a whole. With the
recent global uncertainty of Covid-19 and Brexit, this confidence
shows the strength, stability and substance in the
island."
Bond listings in the first quarter have included 16 high yield
bonds including issuances from the likes of car rental company
Hertz, technology company Diebold Nixdorf and cruise ship operator,
the British-American Carnival Corporation.
