Over the past few weeks, we have had some interesting conversations with clients, intermediaries, and friends about the current global lockdown situation and Gibraltar. Given the amount of interest, we have decided to write to you to provide some clarity because we feel it is important that people know the difference between facts and fake news.

Business as Usual
Despite the global lockdowns, for us it is very much a case of business as usual but carried out differently. People should not expect any dramatic reduction in our services levels.

New Business Continues
Remarkably, even during the lockdown, global interest in Gibraltar, Gibraltar incorporations, Gibraltar redomiciliations and Gibraltar company activity spiked sharply in the first quarter of 2020 and interest in the Europa Group continues.

Unity
There is unity between all political parties within Gibraltar and agreement to work together in order to face any challenge. This pandemic has demonstrated Gibraltar’s stability and skill in crisis management.

Important Points to Remember

  • Ignore all “hype” and fake commentaries by people who really do not understand global events, particularly health matters.
  • Stay calm and do not make any emotional business decisions.
  • Enjoy business as usual from the Europa Group.
  • New business interest continues
  • Markets often panic. They have panicked a lot worse than this many other times. The important thing to remember is that markets will recover.
  • There is unity as all political parties are working together
  • Focus on the long term. If you are a long term investor then remain invested. Stick to your plan!
  • New opportunities will present themselves.

Gibraltar will maintain its status as a safe and stable choice and as a global financial centre by continuing to provide easy access to the EU and UK financial markets. Gibraltar’s diversified and stable economy will continue with the principal sectors of yachting and shipping, financial services, tourism, E-gaming and ship refueling with little or no change.
