Channel Islands business podcast

In conversation with Lord Digby Jones, the former UK trade minister, on Brexit and its implications for Guernsey, the UK and the world that is pivoting to Asia.

William Mason, director general of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, offers his insights on not just the next year, but the next five to 10 years - and key areas critical for the island's finance sector.

Gill Morris, executive director of the Guernsey Policy & Economics Group, sets out the think tank's plans and objectives - starting with the economy and a focus group led by a former chief minister of the island.

Insights on sustainble finance industry. Plus what is the prospect of negative interest rates? And the Brexit outlook and the general state of the UK economy? This is the second part of a podcast with Kevin Boscher, chief investment officer at Ravenscroft.

Kevin Boscher, chief investment officer of Ravenscroft Group, talks Covid-19 vaccines, the US election and the importance of governments - including Jersey and Guernsey in the Channel Islands - of investing to drive their economies. Part one of a two part podcast.

Conversation with Tony Mancini, of the Guernsey International Business Association, on the election and how those elected can help the finance sector which makes up half of the Guernsey economy. Plus we chat about a no-deal Brexit and what that could mean.

Technological disruption will have a huge impact on our working lives and the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the changes. A swathe of current jobs are predicted to go, although there will be new opportunities as well. Will Green speaks to Leyla Yildirim, chief strategy officer at PwC Channel Islands about a major PwC report published on the topic.

Can finance centres like Jersey and Guernsey help fight climate change and drive social good? Yes, says Fiona Le Poidevin of the Channel Islands headquartered International Stock Exchange. In this sub nine-minute podcast, she talks about how the islands are driving green & sustainable finance. Plus we cover some of the challenges of decarbonising the economy. 

All aboard for this 5 minute podcast with the men who want to build a rail tunnel between Guernsey and Jersey, in the Channel Islands, and onward to France. Pie in the sky? Absolutely not, says Guernsey businessman Martyn Dorey. Feasible? Yes, according to tunnel expert Stephen Whitham who says it's like a manageable mortgage when it comes to paying the estimated £2.6bn price tag.

Welcome to the Channel Islands business podcast with Will Green. We're talking Brexit and fish with Guernsey's chief minister Gavin St Pier and leading economist Martin Beck from the EY Item club. Happy listening.
