The White Paper published last week by the UK Government
includes some encouraging pointers for the negotiations that are to
come and the position of the Crown Dependencies.
In particular the fact that the Secretary of State for Exiting
the EU, David Davis, MP, when presenting the White Paper to
Parliament, indicated that the interests of the Crown Dependencies
are to be taken into account in the negotiations was welcome
confirmation that the UK appreciate our unique constitutional
position. It was further encouraging to note the commitment from UK
ministers to meet with our ministers regularly in the months to
come.
Whilst no one can safely predict the final outcome of the Brexit
negotiations, Jersey's finance industry remains well positioned
and we have reason to be confident about our future prospects. We
are of course already outside of the EU and retain market access
into Member States for our financial services as a result of
directly negotiated agreements,
