Work Taking Place to Improve Island’s Reputation

The Chief Minister has highlighted the work taking place to enhance the island’s reputation as an outstanding place to do business.

Alfred Cannan MHK addressed the work when he opened the Countering Financial Crime Conference at the Villa Marina today (September 3).

He said the Isle of Man will continue to pursue opportunities for economic growth while acting decisively to disrupt those who seek to exploit its financial systems. 

Island’s Reputation

“Maintaining the integrity of our financial services sector is essential to supporting the competitiveness of our existing businesses and attracting quality new investment and jobs”, the Chief Minister said.

“It is critical that our government agencies, island firms and non-profit organisations work collaboratively as part of a united national response against organised crime.”

The Chief also underlined the importance of the Isle of Man’s MONEYVAL evaluation in October 2026: “Securing a positive outcome is fundamental to our immediate and longer-term economic success.

“We must seize the opportunity to showcase the Island as a trusted member of the global community that continues to meet its international obligations.”
