P4 | JERSEY FINANCE ANNUAL REVIEW 2012
2012
After four years in which the impact of the global financial crisis has inevitably taken its toll on Jersey’s finance industry, there were signs in 2012 of a corner being turned. Inward investment by a swathe of new arrivals on the Island was matched by encouraging figures on the amount of business done by firms in our market-leading sectors. Other significant progress made on Jersey Finance’s priority targets included:
UK Marketing campaigns
A year of progress...
Marketing campaigns and a programme of events in the UK bolstered our profile in what is still the Island’s most important market, as did conferences in London to promote Jersey’s Funds and Private Wealth sectors.
Target growth markets
2012 Business Aims
Our activities in the target growth markets of China, India and the Gulf continued to expand, with growing interest among financial institutions in those markets of what Jersey has to offer. Jersey Finance’s BRICs conference in September brought together industry leaders, financial regulators and emerging markets experts to discuss opportunities for new business in the four leading emerging markets.
Grow

Capture

Develop Capital Markets
Further develop
We pushed ahead with our plan to develop Capital Markets as a ‘fourth pillar’ of Jersey’s financial industry by presenting the Island’s offering to intermediaries and gatekeepers in the UK and further afield. Preliminary steps were taken to raise Jersey’s profile as a place to do business for the Insurance industry.
