Channel Eye – £1.4 trillion of capital is intermediated in Jersey each year

The findings of a major research project focused on Jersey’s global economic footprint were presented to Members of Parliament at a special reception on Wednesday 20th July in the House of Commons.

The reception, hosted by Jersey Finance, provided an opportunity for Parliamentarians and special guests to hear more about the value Jersey’s financial services industry adds to global economies, based on the conclusions of the Jersey Finance-commissioned ‘Jersey’s Contribution to Global Value Chains’ report.

Against the backdrop of the 60th anniversary of Jersey’s international financial services industry last year, the event also acted as a forum to discuss how globalisation is evolving and impacting cross-border financial flows.

Speaking at the event, Joe Moynihan, CEO, Jersey Finance, outlined the strong ties between Jersey and the UK, and Jersey’s instrumental role in supporting the UK’s prosperity and global ambition. He also highlighted the key findings from the report, undertaken by independent economics consultancy the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr), including:

  • that £1.4 trillion of capital is intermediated in Jersey each year on average
  • that activity through Jersey supports £170.3 billion of global economic output and 5.1 million jobs worldwide

Deputy Ian Gorst, Jersey’s Minister for Treasury and Resources, also spoke at the event, pointing to the role Jersey can play in supporting the UK’s new trading relationships overseas, whilst Deputy Philip Ozouf, Minister for External Relations, also attended. Dr Alan Whitehead, Member of Parliament for Southampton, Test, and Co-chair of the Channel Islands All-Party Parliamentary Group, welcomed attendees, followed by Daniel Kawczynski, Member of Parliament for Shrewsbury and Atcham.
