Future Developments

The role of Policy & Legal Division in developing proposals for the future

The main objective of the Policy & Legal Division is to develop proposals which take account of international standards, secure an appropriate degree of protection for customers of financial services businesses and, at the same time, support the Island’s economy and its development as an international financial centre

The Policy & Legal Division is therefore required to monitor international developments in regulation and best practice, and to identify any areas for regulatory change. In this way the Division assists in sustaining the Island’s reputation as a well-regulated and premier jurisdiction in or from which to do business.

In developing proposals the Division involves the finance industry as well as other interested parties, and undertakes consultation with such bodies in order to produce workable and considered proposals. Additionally, the Division is responsible for drafting any necessary secondary legislation, or instructing the legislative drafters for primary legislation, when this is necessary.
