Jersey remains top offshore centre based on Global Financial Centres Index

Jersey has retained it's position as the top ranked offshore financial services centre for the 8th year in a row according to the latest Global Financial Centres Index.

Jersey sits in 28th place in the overall global rankings, which seek to measure the attractiveness of the worlds financial centres based on a variety of external measures and a large survey.

Guernsey is the second ranked offshore centre (in 31st place overall), followed by Cayman Islands (41st), Isle of Man (43rd), and BVI (47th).

Of the "quasi offshore" centres (those where much of the work comes from international clients located there due to beneficial tax regimes) the field is headed by Switzerland, with Zurich in 5th place overall, Geneva in 7th place, Luxembourg in 18th, Amsterdam in 34th and Dublin in 56th.

London kept its overall number 1 spot, despite the scandals it has weathered over the past couple of years, with New York in 2nd place ahead of Hong Kong and Singapore.
