November 2017 Issue

Feature Article: Banking & Investments

Uncertainty is still a word that haunts the global business community. Close to home we have the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and further afield continued political unrest in areas including the Middle-East, parts of Africa and the Korean peninsula.

The crash in the value of the pound that came in the wake of the Brexit vote may have temporarily boosted British exports and pushed the FTSE to new levels, but the spectre of inflation has raised its head, and recent growth predictions for the UK make gloomy reading.

For savers the picture is still far from rosy, though a small lift in interest rates in the coming months could provide the first glimmer of hope for some time.

The fortunes of the Isle of Man are – whether we like it or not – inextricably linked to the performance of the UK. Meanwhile the fortunes of the banking and investments sector are critically important to the Manx economy.

Our November Money Media feature puts the spotlight on the sector and the companies that play a key role here on the Island. Manx based firms can boast high calibre people with global expertise, whose wise counsel is more important than ever in such volatile times.
