It's fitting at this time of year to take stock of the past
twelve months, and it's clear that in 2018 Jersey's
resilience and strengths as an IFC have really come to the
fore.
Since taking steps to mitigate the impact of the financial
crisis ten years ago by rolling out a unique strategic vision,
we've seen the rise of protectionism, Brexit negotiations,
volatility in key overseas markets, considerable political
uncertainty, and rafts of international regulatory initiatives, not
to mention ongoing debates around beneficial ownership and fighting
financial crime.
These challenges have persisted in 2018 but, whilst some other
centres have stuttered, Jersey is setting itself apart by asserting
its absolute belief in what we do and why we do it – that
what we do here can help create a better future for people the
world over, and professionals in all corners of the world are
seeing that.
