Speaking at the launch of the strategy, Deputy Andrew Niles, vice president of the committee for economic development, said the strategy was commissioned at the start of the political term in response to relatively modest recent growth and mounting structural pressures.
“Guernsey has a strong and resilient finance industry, but we operate in an increasingly competitive global market,” said Niles.
“This strategy is about ensuring we not only remain robust, but that we grow, and that we clearly articulate our place in the world.”
William Mason, director general of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, highlighted the island’s push into digital finance as an early example of momentum, with growing interest from firms exploring blockchain and AI-enabled services.
