The island of Jersey has long benefited from self-governance, judicial independence and the freedom to set its own taxes. These constitutional rights have enabled Jersey to develop a diverse, robust and international finance industry. With a global reputation for being well-regulated, open and transparent, Jersey is playing an important role in UK-China trade and investment.

This year marks 20 years since the first Chinese company was registered in Jersey. To-date, one third of the Chinese companies that have listed in London have done so through the island. Jersey Finance has promoted the island's finance industry in China since 2005 and opened a representative office in Hong Kong in 2009.

Jersey can provide investment vehicles to channel international capital into China for construction projects, while the Jersey company structure is often used as the ideal listing vehicle for international companies raising funds on the London and Hong Kong stock exchanges.
