Guernsey Finance chief executive Dominic Wheatley said: "Establishing a larger presence in Asia reflects current industry trends and is fundamental to our future strategy, particularly as Hong Kong is such an important hub, not only for China but Southeast Asia overall."
Lord Howard Flight, a member of Britain’s House of Lords and a commissioner of Guernsey’s financial regulator, the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC) said: "Guernsey is an important gateway for outbound investment opportunities into Europe and the UK.
