In this issue, we look at the UK government’s efforts to force the issue of public registers of beneficial ownership on the Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories, and how Guernsey and Jersey are fighting back. Our lead interview this time is with Mark Bousfield, Group MD at Ravenscroft. Born and raised in Guernsey, he explains why the Channel Islands are a compelling investment proposition, while admitting that some barriers to doing business still remain. And with the Common Reporting Standard passing the first year since reporting began, we question whether the impact on the islands has been as bad as many predicted. All this, and a lot more!
