Guernsey Delegation Sees Opportunities Aplenty in India

Guernsey's finance industry has significant opportunities to win business in India, according to Peter Niven, Chief Executive of Guernsey Finance – the promotional agency for the Island's finance industry.

Mr Niven was speaking at the culmination of a week-long delegation to Delhi and Mumbai organised by Guernsey Finance and led by Deputy Carla McNulty Bauer, Minister for the Commerce and Employment Department within the Guernsey Government.

Guernsey opened an office in China nearly three years ago but this is the Island's first official delegation to India.

"It has been a very fruitful trip," said Mr Niven.

"We have had a lot of meetings across both Delhi and Mumbai with some very senior government, regulatory and business officials as well as very many industry practitioners such as leading lawyers and accountants. In addition, we also hosted our own specific Guernsey event in Mumbai which proved to be an extremely popular networking opportunity attended by
