2007 has seen Guernsey maintain
its pre-eminent position as a leading international finance
centre. Across the board banking, funds, trust and insurance
there has been continued growth in business flows, from both
institutional and private investors, which now stand at record
levels.
This success has been in part
facilitated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commissions
(GFSC) robust yet pragmatic approach to regulation. The
Guernsey environment provides investors with the widest range
of products and services, transactions are made simpler and
quicker because there is no unnecessary bureaucracy and yet
they can be assured that the Islands financial services
businesses are working to high international standards there is
safety and security.
