Guernsey has received a top credit rating from Standard & Poor's.

The world's foremost provider of independent credit ratings and data has this month assigned 'AAA' long-term and 'A+1' short-term sovereign credit ratings to the Island.

This places Guernsey alongside the likes of the UK, US, France and Germany in the top 25 of more than 120 rated jurisdictions in the world and ahead of Japan as well as competitor international finance centres such as Bermuda, Hong Kong and Malta.

"Guernsey receiving this top credit rating from such a respected authority provides important independent evidence that the Island is financially very sound," said Peter Niven, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance – the promotional agency for the Island's finance industry.
