Representatives from Guernsey Finance visited China last week to
further strengthen relationships in Shanghai and Beijing.
Peter Niven, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance – the
promotional agency for the Island's finance industry
internationally and Fiona Le Poidevin, Deputy Chief Executive,
spent two days in Shanghai and three days in Beijing.
Their itinerary included a visit to the Island's
representative office which was established in Shanghai at the end
of 2007, as well as meetings with several Chinese banks, the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC),
the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE),
the China Trustee Association and the Shanghai Bar
Association.
In addition, the pair also visited the Shanghai operations of
law firm Ogier and fund administrator International
Administration Group (IAG), who have both established a
presence in the city during this year.
