An island for business and life

China Daily | Updated: 2014-09-15 09:30

The beautiful island of Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands is strengthening its ties with China. The island, with a population of 100,000, is just 22 kilometers off the French coast and less than an hour from London and other major UK and European cities by air.

With strong ties to the UK and mainland Europe, Jersey has established itself as a well-regulated, highly reputable international financial centre. The island's strong links to the UK and the City of London mean that Jersey supports an estimated 180,000 British jobs and adds $15 billion to the UK economy.

With a welcoming environment and a dynamic economy, Jersey has become a highly attractive destination for global wealth management and foreign direct investment across a broad range of sectors. Direct tax rates for both individuals and companies are among the lowest in Europe and the island's financial services sector is highly rated by both the IMF and the OECD.
