Guernsey Remains Out In Front For LSE Listings

Guernsey remains home to more non-UK entities listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) than any other jurisdiction globally, according to figures from the market authority.

LSE data shows that at the end of December 2015 there were 129 Guernsey-incorporated entities listed on the Main Market, AIM and the Specialist Fund Market (SFM) - an increase of seven over the past 12 months.

This is significantly more than the major economic powers of Russia (31), the United States (30), India (28), Australia (26), South Africa (7), Germany (5), China (4) and France (3). It was also well ahead of centres such as Jersey (93), Ireland (54), the Isle of Man (54), the BVI (43), Cayman (42) and Bermuda (36). These are trailed by Luxembourg (9), Gibraltar (7) and Malta (1).
