Dr Andy Sloan, Deputy Chief Executive Strategy,
Guernsey Finance, offers five positive thoughts on ways Guernsey
can benefit from Brexit.
With the UK Parliament having just returned after the summer
recess and October and November, the months that expert
commentators are suggesting are the deadlines for agreeing a Brexit
deal, looming large, it is timely to consider what the long-term
impact of Brexit may be for Guernsey's finance sector, deal,
Chequers or otherwise, or no deal.
Taking a long-term view of the impact of such a singularly
significant event has little to do with traditional forecasting
methods. It's all down to judgment calls, gut instinct and
selecting from competing assumptions. It's why the economics
profession can make such wildly different predictions about the
same future.
