Gibraltar Financial Services Minister - UK more important than EU access


21 Sep 2016

The Minister for Financial Services, Albert Isola MP, gave an interview with Bloomberg from Geneva.

The Minister says that after the EU referendum on 23-Jun that Gibraltar carried out a review across the full range of business and found that, including financial services, the most important market was the United Kingdom.

He said that the strong relationship that Gibraltar enjoys with the United Kingdom is more important than the single market. This relationship is what will help Gibraltar through any potential difficulties – it has yet to be seen what approach the UK will take to Brexit in the first place.

Any notion of shared sovereignty with Spain is “not going to happen” and “British means British if Brexit means Brexit”.

The Minister also reaffirmed that Gibraltar is as welcome to Spanish workers as it ever has been, and that if any change occurs it will not come from Gibraltar.
