Last week the Global Financial Centres Index was published and again calculated that the Island was the best place for offshore business.
Jersey’s position at number 21 in the overall world finance centre rankings, including both onshore and offshore, remained unchanged from when the list was last published six months ago.
And the ‘score’ attributed to the Island by those who calculate the index went up slightly since the last report. Jersey has a higher score than major cities such as Paris (22nd), Chinese capital Beijing (26th, down from 19th last time) and Amsterdam (33rd).
The Island is also the only offshore centre to be included in a top-ten list by sector. It retained eighth position among centres that specialise in wealth management and private banking, just below Zurich and Toronto and ahead of Vancouver and Tokyo.
