What happened
Jersey secured a top-10 ranking in international tax haven lists. The island's economy is dominated by a £4 billion offshore finance industry, which attracts global wealth through low taxes and corporate secrecy. This structure has made Jersey one of the world's richest economies, with a GDP per head nearly 60% higher than the UK.

Why it matters
The island's reliance on low taxes and corporate secrecy has been a primary driver of its wealth, but these practices have damaged Jersey's international reputation. The island has also faced scrutiny following major data leaks, such as the Panama and Paradise papers.
