The Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance has outlined how the
agency worked to overcome the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic
and, with anticipated increased funding from the States of
Guernsey, will be seeking to develop further during 2021.
Rupert Pleasant was speaking at his first Industry Update event
in Guernsey as Chief Executive, having taken up the role in May
last year.
He explained to an audience of more than 200 that the
island's financial services industry had done well during the
past year and was now well positioned for further growth.
"We demonstrated safety, security, stability and resilience
through our response to Covid. It has been almost seamless business
as usual for the past year. There is now huge interest
in Guernsey and we need to capitalise on this.
