international comparisons of global city financing: a report to the london finance commission.

This framework confirms Government's commitment to supporting the financial services sector, recognising its significant contribution to the economic wellbeing of the Island and all its residents. Government's role is to provide leadership, to nurture relationships with our partners across the world, to encourage effective co-operation between stakeholders, and above all to provide a responsive and enabling business environment within which the core industry sectors, and innovation and enterprise, can continue to thrive. Jersey takes seriously the part it can play in driving positive change in the world, and will continue to adopt international standards, adapt to technological advances, and use our expertise to move towards a more environmentally and socially sustainable global economy. These international capital flows put Jersey in a powerful position to make a recognisable contribution to the world's efforts to become sustainable, and we are part of the Network of Financial Centres for Sustainability, a group which seeks to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change. We enable capital to move around the world, generating employment, taxation, and economic growth across hundreds of jurisdictions. Our contribution to the global economy, in both developed and developing countries, is significant. For more than sixty years, those working in the financial services industry have helped individuals and businesses, domestically and internationally, to grow and prosper. Jersey has long been recognised as one of the world's most stable and successful international finance centres.
