THE island’s anti-money laundering regime will continue to be enhanced, according to the chief of the Guernsey Border Agency.

STRESS tests of Guernsey’s banking and insurance sectors show they would not be immune from the effects of a significant macroeconomic shock.

JUDGING the stability of Guernsey’s finance industry was a key focus of the International Monetary Fund during its recent visit to the island, the regulator has said.

GUERNSEY played an important part at an international conference held in Kuala Lumpur, despite being a small jurisdiction.

THE British Bankers’ Association has backed the States claim that the categorisation of offshore financial centres is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

GUERNSEY is feeling the effects of the credit crunch, according to Treasury minister Charles Parkinson.

GUERNSEY’S finance sector has reacted with delight to news that the terms, ‘offshore’ and ‘onshore’, are to be dropped by the International Monetary Fund.

GUERNSEY will no longer be referred to as an ‘offshore’ financial centre by the International Monetary Fund.

IT MIGHT not have been the most eye-catching of headlines, but the single column in yesterday’s Financial Times certainly stood out for Guernsey’s financial services regulators.

A FEW months ago this column looked at the potential implications for Guernsey arising out of the upcoming US election.
