Guernsey established a representative office in China more than two years ago but this trip represents the Island’s first official marketing activity in India.
The team will visit Delhi and Mumbai between Tuesday 20 April and Thursday 29 April. The itinerary being drawn up is set to include governmental engagements, meetings with regulators, industry associations and leading business introducers, as well as a series of networking opportunities through specific Guernsey events.
The delegation will be led by Carla McNulty Bauer, Minister for the Commerce and Employment Department within the Guernsey Government.
“Guernsey’s finance industry is continuing to perform well but we are increasingly facing new challenges – including stronger competition from other jurisdictions – so it is important that we do not stand still. The Island needs to make sure that it maintains its profile in centres such as London, which remains our principal source of new business and also develop links in emerging markets such as China and India,” she said.
