The newspaper, which is read by financial and other professionals around the world, is running a report entitled ‘Doing Business in Jersey’.

The Island is also hosting an event in London in conjunction with the FT ahead of the publication of the report as part of a campaign that is understood to have cost about £30,000.

The lunch, being held on 20 September at the Tower of London at the New Armouries banqueting suite, has been arranged by inward investment agency Locate Jersey and Economic Development Minister Alan Maclean will be among the speakers.
