Record-breaking attendance at Financial Services Meeting
In an update on social media, Hon Smith said yesterday, Monday, September 9, 2024, the delegation took part in the London Circle Briefings on Financial Services matters with a record-breaking number of 29 people in attendance.
The London Circle she explained “mirrors BVI’s Financial Services Industry”. Hon Smith said it was a great opportunity to provide them with an in-person briefing.
Following this briefing, the delegation attended a Climate/Environment roundtable with experts from as far of Switzerland during which discussions on matters such as Insurance and Investments in the Blue Economy were held. This she said was important as the VI is on the frontline of climate change.
Premier Wheatley and part of the delegation later met with Labour Members of Parliament.
