The Bailiwick of Jersey

Jersey is a British Crown Dependency located in the Bay of St Malo less than 20 miles from the French coast.

As a Crown Dependency it is loyal to the British monarch, but does not form part of the political make-up of the United Kingdom.  It is a self-governing and judicially independent territory, which sits outside the European Union but is treated as part of the European Community for the purposes of free trade in goods.

Jersey comprises an area of approximately 120 sq. km, with a population of about 100,000. 

The island is recognised as a leading international finance centre, with some of the most robust and sophisticated anti-money laundering and financial services legislation in the world.  It boasts a stable geo-political infrastructure, with a legal system based on English law principles.
